The whole directory tree resides in this volume except for /boot When I boot normally i.e. without Xen i can unlock the encrypted volume. When I boot Xen I'm not able to unlock the encrypted volume. It looks like the keyboard working at this stage. Nothing happens when typing or enter. I've tried with an external usb keyboard, this gave the same result. The device is a HP Elitebook 8530w. This notebook doesn't have a ps2 keyboard connector, so I wasn't able to test it with a ps2 keyboard. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot Xen openSUSE 12.2 2.The encryption password is requested 3.The password cant be typed in. Also no reaction on just enter. Also connected a USB keyboard to the notebook. This didn't solve the problem Actual Results: Cant decrypt the encrypted volume .i.e. openSUSE DomU doesn't boot.

Should be

zcat initrd-3.4.6-1.1-xen | cpio -it | grep -E '(usb|hid)'

to cover hid-generic.ko, and should also be done on the native initrd for comparison.

hid-generic is new in 3.5-rc1. With kernel-default the passphrase is asked via plymouth (or whatever). With kernel-xen the passphrase is asked via the well known scripts in textmode.

How about trying the -default flavor kernel instead (or in addition)? But yes, hid-generic.ko doesn't exist in 3.4 yet, so its absence can't be the issue here.

Who's plymouth, and why would Xen run in text mode when the native kernel doesn't?

I have no idea. The keyboard works, ctrl+alt+del causes a reset. I have hacked /init to load all available drivers and after a while the kbd works. Later if it asks for the passphrase no kbd input is accepted. I think the bug is that plymouth text mode is broken. If I tweak the scripts in the initrd to not run plymouth then entering the passphrase is possible. Therefore this is not a xen bug. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It still exists after todays' plymouth updates. When booting the desktop kernel plymouth asks for the passphrase of the partition containing my filesystems and everything works fine. When booting the xen-kernel the passpahrase is prompted for on the "white text on black screen" text console the same way it used to be in 11.4 (not sure about 12.1, I have not used it much and never with Xen). Grub is still green, but after grub I have no colors anymore. However, while it was perfectly OK to enter the passphrase earlier on the console now in 12.2 nothing happens. The <Return> key is not active so it does not even complain about intentionally incorrect passphrases. For me it looks like plymouth is not started for the Xen kernel at all (not sure how I could verify that) When booting Xen to safe mode the passphrase can be entered on the Luks volume can be opened. I have an Nvidia graphics card and in desktop kernel nouveau works (with some glitches) Please let me know what further details you need.

...

One cause why Plymouth doesn't show its graphical screen might be that kernel-xen is missing the KMS module/setup ?

That might well be. How do I check this? Can I fix this? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

To state it again in this bug: the "no splash screen shown in dom0" happens also with a plain partition, so there is something plymouth does not like when kernel-xen runs.

Uwe, Can you provide the output of the files contained within the initrd for this xen-kernel ? (lsinitrd <initrd-file>)

I've just attached the lsinitrd output. I also compared the contents of the initrd-desktop and the initrd-xen. The list of filenames is identical (with the expected exception of the kernel modules, which results from the different kernel names) I also unpacked the cpios and diffed them. Here is the result:

...

diff -r initrd-3.4.11-2.16-desktop.extracted/ initrd-3.4.11-2.16-xen.extracted/ diff -r initrd-3.4.11-2.16-desktop.extracted/config/start.sh initrd-3.4.11-2.16-xen.extracted/config/start.sh 1a2 [ "$RESOLVED_INITRD_MODULES" ] || RESOLVED_INITRD_MODULES='xennet xenblk' Only in initrd-3.4.11-2.16-desktop.extracted/lib/modules: 3.4.11-2.16-desktop Only in initrd-3.4.11-2.16-xen.extracted/lib/modules: 3.4.11-2.16-xen diff -r initrd-3.4.11-2.16-desktop.extracted/run_all.sh initrd-3.4.11-2.16-xen.extracted/run_all.sh 14a15 [ "$RESOLVED_INITRD_MODULES" ] || RESOLVED_INITRD_MODULES='xennet xenblk'

Only 2 files differ.

...

I assume that when you indicate that the passphrase can be entered when booting in safe-mode is that Plymouth is not running at that moment ?

I'd assume so. The screen is a white on black text mode console. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Note we never show a boot splash if there's a serial console active, so I wouldn't be surprised if the the "splashscreen not shown" is just that. I believe xen uses /dev/xvc0 or /dev/hvc0 for the console instead of say /dev/tty1 so that could be a complication. Things should work though. What's the output of /sys/class/tty/console/active what about /proc/cmdline? Have you been able to get a debug log ?" Therefore I would like to ask the following : 1) What's the output of /sys/class/tty/console/active 2) Please add plymouth:debug to the kernel command line (grub/grub2). it may give a useful error message. alternatively, pressing ctrl-v while it's running turns on verbose messages.

1) What's the output of /sys/class/tty/console/active

Hmm, we are talking about a system with no working keyboard and no access to a shell (needless to mention ssh, because the rootfs hasn't even been mounted) So any advice how I could collect the information requested?

...

2) Please add plymouth:debug to the kernel command line

Done and screen shots taken of vt1 and vt7. (Other vts didn't seem to be in in use). I'll upload them in a minute. It looks like the vt1 output might already answer your question about the console. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The request was here to capture the output when the system is fully booted. Just to see which console is indeed active. This can be done without having Plymouth active.

OK. Booted to Xen kernel using rd.plymouth=0 $ cat /sys/class/tty/console/active xvc-1 tty0 The same as previously visible in screenshot of vt1

...

But I assume that this is tty7

Well yes, X is running on tty7 $ ps -el | grep X 4 S 0 1007 924 5 80 0 - 48023 ? tty7 00:00:14 Xorg so tty0 is tty7 as long as I am in X.
