The code changed betwen 10.2 and 10.3, we removed some compatibility cruft with old kernels during bug #302010. Could you please try if the old kbd package from 10.2 behaves the same on the updated 10.3 box? http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/suse/i586/kbd-1.12-8... http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/suse/x86_64/kbd-1.12... -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=335267#c4 --- Comment #4 from Stefan Kost 2007-10-20 03:59:38 MST --- I've found the cause - I added an echo of the executed commands and a -v to the actual command: echo /bin/setfont -C $tty $CONSOLE_FONT $UMAP $SMAP /bin/setfont -v -C $tty $CONSOLE_FONT $UMAP $SMAP There is a race of starting /etc/init.d/xdm. It fails for "tty7". The xdm script should probably list kbd under "Required-Start" instead of "Should-Start" or alternatively the kdb script should not fail when it fails for one of the ttys. -- 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.

So it might be hard to tell where it came from. Two things: * shouldn't tty10 be on the list? * wouldn't it be better to continue if one on the setfont calls fail (or continue if atleast on of them succeeded). -- 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.

Before that that problem was not there (in 10.3). The machine had also been upgraded from 10.2... On the race of gdb: I noticed that gdm is started even before the network or clock is set up.

Also NTP is run before the network is up (It's run again when the network is up). I wonder whether process dependencies are correctly configured AND considered. Maybe instead of a sleep and retry for the kbd problem, proper ordering of the start scripts would fix the problem (A guess, just a guess). -- 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.

So, a big help would be if someone with deeper insight could support me in testing what is actually failing - the font files are there, they are readable, so, this cannot cause this problem.

Created an attachment (id=208227) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=208227) [details] Output of the /etc/init.d/kbd - file using my patch when the issue occurs

Interesting - do you only see setfont errors on the first console (/bin/setfont -v -C /dev/tty1) or is it random? All: 1) Does the problem occur on 11.0 or Factory? 2) Does it persist if you disable the earlyxdm init script (insserv -r earlyxdm)? -- 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.

And the conclusion in #26 remains valid: someone with a deeper insight should look into the bug as my possibilities are restricted to testing and further debugging. I know now two different computers I can access that exhibit the very same problem, so it is nothing exotic IMHO.

Have you tried to stop your system from booting the init-scripts in parallel? Try (I have already done so) to set RUN_PARALLEL in the sysconfig-editor to "no". If you want to set it manually you can directly edit /etc/sysconfig/boot. After that, restart and look what happens. This is not to say that this solves the issue, but this is an attempt to reduce the amount of possibilities that could cause problems.

automatically. My guess is that old hardware and a slow CPU may be the cause.

Having started a program that runs over 7000 threads on an older laptop, causing a load of > 200 while keeping the system responsive, I'd say there are no slow CPUs, but only race conditions. And "sleep" is no mechanism for process synchronization. -- 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.
