https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=250310 Summary: Lock-up during activating "device mapper" if wireless card was disabled via hardware Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: justforspam@email.it QAContact: qa@suse.de This is a really nasty bug, it took a lot of time to figure out. I have a HP pavilion 5200 with a Intel wireless card (ipw3945); the card can be disabled with a button on the case, I don't know what the button does exactly but it works. Anyway if when I turn down the laptop I leave the card turned OFF the I cannot turn it on anymore: the boot process hang forever (I have tried waiting about 10 minutes) at "activating device mapper..."; furthermore the hardware button is not active until a later stage of the boot process (so no chance to trick it). Luckily I have a w* partition so I am able to recover when it happens, booting to the other operating system, activating the card and rebooting. I can do any test if needed. Bye and thanks in advance, Lorenzo. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
