--- Comment #2 from Martin Wilck ---
We pull in fbcon as soft-dep of virtio_gpu on request of IBM, as a result of
bug 1121996. This is done via modprobe.d, the respective file is maintained in
suse-module-tools as a s390x-specific configuration file.
But since 6104c37094e7 ("fbcon: Make fbcon a built-time depency for fbdev",
upstream 4.14), fbcon is not a separate module any more. This affects SLE15-SP2
and later (5.3.18, 5.14.21) and of course, Factory.
modprobe handles this gracefully as long as only virtio_gpu is loaded; it just
skips the softdep. But the suse-initrd dracut module throws an error trying to
copy the fbcon module into the initramfs.
@Ihno, I will just drop this dependency. I believe it has simply become
obsolete. fbcon is now part of the "fb" module. The availablity of the console
(CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y) is set at kernel build-time, in all our relevant
kernel branches.
