I did not say we won't look into it, but figuring out a good workaround might
take some time, first we need to figure out a simple example to reproduce. 

If your container does not use any packages that are hardware dependant you
could export the variable Michael mentioned and use it as a workaround for the
time being. 

Or you collect the sysfs once on boot into a file in /tmp and just use that for
all zypper runs.

I wonder if the command:  "find /sys/ -type f -name modalias -print0 | xargs -0
cat | sort -u >/tmp/modaliases" produces a similar behaviour to a zypper run in
your container.
