hey there, sorry for the delay. what do you mean about that kexec stuff. that
was only a brief description of the steps i did. the end result of this bug is
as described, this box never boots beyond that error message. even with
poweroff, cold boot.
with coldboot there isnt any kexec involved is it? i know kexec only from past
opensuse versions right after installing clean opensuse versions at the very
end when the system wrote bootloader and final configs to the destination
system (grub etc.) it would try to kexec-boot the installed new
system/opensuse-kernel instead of doing a real reset/reboot/warmboot or
whatever its called properly.
if kexec didnt succeed, the user would then ctrl+alt+del, or reset or repower
the system and the freshly installed opensuse would then boot up via normal
standard means, whatever that means.
so to my understanding kexec was a means to load and run a new/updated kernel
right from inside the old running system without doing all the warm/cold
boot-up stuff such as firmware, bios, POST etc.
so anyways, as i wrote in this bug, this installed system doesnt boot up at
all. it didnt boot up right after install (after the upgrade from 11.4 to 12.1)
nor after the many attempts i didt be it from powered down mode, from warm
reboot, cold-reboot (reset button), with usb keyboard/mice, with addtl
ps2-keyboard, with ps2-keyboard only. whatever i do all it does is hang as
described, and a ps2 keyboard can escape the bootscreen away and then it shows
those two lines:
doing fastboot
creating device nodes with udev.
nothing else ever happens. so i guess it has zero to do with kexec, or am i
wrong?
as i see today, factory has the more recent 3.1rc9 kernel as of very recently,
is there any way to update this non-booting system to the most recent factory
packages (rpm) in any way? maybe this hang is fixed in the 3.1rc9 kernel
package?
regards.
