[Bug 615680] New: KMS not active after update
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=615680 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=615680#c0 Summary: KMS not active after update Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Milestone 7 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Update Problems AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: sndirsch@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com CC: eich@novell.com, mhopf@novell.com, tiwai@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Due to a missing 'Prereq: mkinitrd' in our kernel-<flavor> specfiles it can happen that the kernel package is updated before mkinitrd. The result is that the appropriate KMS modules are not being added to initrd by mkinitrd, since adding KMS modules is a new feature of mkinitrd in openSUSE 11.3. That issue is going to trigger a lot of bugreports like Bug #614734. I would appreciate it if we could still fix that issue for next RC or GM, since that would save me a lot of time when 11.3 is available for download/purchase.

There is Requires(post): mkinitrd in the kernel spec files.
Yeah but it alone doesn't help because of the reason in comment 2? -- 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.

What happens if you boot the 11.3 kernel in an old system without kms-enabled X?
It should work, no matter whether KMS is used or not (at the last time I tested quite ago). So, requiring the new mkinitrd doesn't break the old system, at least. OTOH, the new X with the old mkinitrd breaks. So, there are two things behind this issue: - who should give the dependency (and how) on a certain mkinitrd with KMS support - who triggers mkinitrd at which timing It doesn't have to be the kernel package who do the both, if there is a good alternative. The dependency could be in X, in theory. But triggering is obviously not... -- 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.

What's the background of this question? I mean do we need to officially support the 11.3 kernel on older systems? Why? In case you don't want to see a different X behaviour after updating kernel and mkinitrd you can still add 'nomodeset' as kernel boot option ... -- 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.

OK, I added this to git.
Thanks. Hope to see this still in 11.3 (>= RC2). -- 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.
