Comment # 65 on bug 1224773 from Imo Hester
I re-tested the driver installation on another fresh Aeon RC3 install with
similar results.

The sole issue the 2nd system did not ran into is the TPM issue as the system
has no TPM chip and thus uses the fallback mode and is asking for a password to
unlock the system on every boot anyway.

To summarize the issues observed so far:

1) Installing the driver repository and then immediately reboot will result in
a boot loop as the repository key does not get automatically accepted. The Aeon
healthchecker will notice an issue and then reboot the system without rolling
back. Therefore the "broken" snapshot is booted again and the situation
repeats. 

To circumvent this issue the user has to run any transactional-update packaging
command using -c to get into a interactive mode based on the latest unbooted
snapshot to (always) trust the repository key.

2) Installing the actual driver package itself does not seem to trigger a
rebuild of the initrd file. The user has to do this manually, move the initrd
file from /boot/ to the correct location and edit the latest boot entry to use
the newly created initrd file.

3) Installing the driver package will break the automatic decryption of the
root file system as the TPM predictions have changed. Which is to be expected
as the initrd file was altered. Therefore the TPM chip refuses to unlock the
system and asks for the recovery key. The user has to input this key on every
boot. Also updating the TPM predictions manually does not work either see:
boo#1228859.

For the 3rd issue I did not yet found a manual solution.

All 3 issues apply at least for the G06 and G05 driver package at least for me.

Kind regards,
