Sysmte: openSUSE Tumbleweed x86_64 updated from 12.1 BTW, for those who are affected by this. This is the workaround I currently have. (a) If you have a non-usb keyboard (I am using a laptop), then it is relatively easy. Follow the second post of http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/tumbleweed/477037.... Then install an order kernel following: http://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/html/openSUSE/opensuse-tuning/cha.tuni.... (b) If you don't have a non-usb keyboard, I guess you have to use the installation DVD. Use installation->upgrade existing system->package manager, use the 3.1.* or 3.4.* version of the following packages: kernel-desktop and optionally: kernel-devel kernel-source kernel-syms kernel-xen-devel kernel-default-devel This seems to be a known problem of 3.5 kernel.

I am pretty sure this bug is caused by the new kernel. If you follows (b), you might need to update grub.lst by hand to add the entries for the older version kernel, otherwise you are still using the 3.5 one. At leas in my case I had to. I thought it was just a kink in the installer so I didn't put it there... Now I guess probably that is a bug as well... -- 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.

I think there are two issues here. The first is that kernel-desktop has usbhid built-in but not hid-generic. I've fixed that in kernel commit 6d995bc7 (Update config files: HID_GENERIC=y where USBHID=y (bnc#773559)) The second is that flavors without usbhid built-in aren't getting hid-generic. That's a bug in mkinitrd. I've filed SR 129370 to fix that one but you can work around it locally by adding "hid-generic" to the end of the module list in /lib/mkinitrd/scripts/boot-usb.sh and then rebuilding your initrd. You'll need the updated mkinitrd for any kernel >= 3.5.0. The second should fix the issue even on a non-updated 3.5 kernel, it just won't work 'optimally' since it'll load the module when it should be built in. Please test and confirm the fix. -- 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.

Thanks, I've pushed to Base:System as SR 129491.
I've updated Kernel:HEAD to depend on mkinitrd >= 2.7.1 (commit 2f757104)
I'll close as FIXED once both of those make it to openSUSE:Factory.
Jeff, this new hard version dependency is wrong because suddenly the kernel can not be installeded on older systems such as sles11. Please remove it again.

For releases with an older mkinitrd, that is exactly the case, as demonstrated by this bug report. I'm not going to change the configs for the master branch to avoid the dependency so that you can install the kernel on a release it was never meant to deploy with. We update the kernel to depend on updated versions of the closely-related support tools all the time (e.g. udev) and this is no different. Also, I'm not going to remove the dependency to let users implement option #2 themselves because that's how we end up with *exactly* this bug report. -- 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.

I'm not going to change the configs for the master branch to avoid the dependency so that you can install the kernel on a release it was never meant to deploy with. We update the kernel to depend on updated versions of the closely-related support tools all the time (e.g. udev) and this is no different.
It is very different: If most/all systems wont boot anymore because a newer tool is required then certainly adding a Requires (after careful consideration) to the kernel.rpm is acceptable. But in this specific case its just a simple and small module which is even automatically loaded on my sles11sp2 system. And we already have /etc/sysconfig/kernel:INITRD_MODULES, which would be the way to deal with this bugreport. And a even simpler fix would be to set CONFIG_HID_GENERIC=y Making it easy to verify if kernel bugs reported for a maintained release are fixed upstream should not be taken away. Up to now its as simple as zypper ar -c -f -n kernel_head \ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/standard kernel_head zypper ref zypper dup -l -r kernel_head # keep obsolete kernel-XXX-base So please remove the version dependency. -- 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.

You are asking to change the config of a kernel used in future products back to requirements set in SLE11. I have multiple installs on my test systems and virtual machines on my workstation for exactly this reason. -- 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.

Yes, for obvious reasons state in previous comment.

Thats not a good argument to make kernel testing for others harder. -- 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.

I'm not going to make HID_GENERIC static just so you can avoid the dependency. Your system boots fine without it because you don't need to use the keyboard in the initrd. The dependency exists because of a real bug report. This one. Install it with --nodeps if you don't want to update it. -- 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.

I'm not suggesting to make it static, just that it would have been an option.

The repo does likely also provide an updated mkinitrd.rpm so the "fix" comes for free for its users. All others who dont run Factory have INITRD_MODULES=. If I had such a setup that would have been my fix to that very problem (old dist + new kernel). -- 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 vanilla kernels have usbhid and hid-generic as modules, and even if they didn't, the fix would be to modularize them again. -- 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.
