Installed the firmware for b43. Using the default kernel, drivers ssb and b43 load and wireless is working (2.6.34 kernel). If you try to boot with the desktop kernel, the system hangs during boot while trying to load ssb. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install factory on computer with bcm4312 wireless chip. 2.install the firmware 3. boot default kernel 4. repeat with desktop kernel Actual Results: default kernel works. desktop kernel locks up during boot.

I'm unable to reproduce this on my system with 2.6.34-8-desktop. You can blacklist the module by adding a file, /etc/modprobe.d/b43-blacklist.conf that contains "blacklist b43" I'd like to try to capture the crash, though. Once you've blacklisted the module, boot into the desktop kernel. Then drop to console, run "klogconsole -r 0 -l 8" and then "modprobe b43". A digital photo is an easy way to capture it. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

If you boot to level 3 in default kernel, you can modprobe b43 and it will load. If you remove b43 and ssb from the blacklist then system hangs during boot. If you boot to level 5 and attempt to modprobe in a terminal window system locks. Problem appears to be the ssb driver that hangs system. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
