I'm not running into delays like that on my system and it's probably not actually the ucode updater that's the problem. -- 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.

No change here, I still have the one-minute delay. You are probably right, that it is unrelated to the 'Checking/updating CPU microcode', sometimes the next message 'Loading CPUFreq modules' is shown early and it hangs there instead. -- 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.

On my system (running the .32 kernel, which I've also seen this reported again), I can reproduce the delay by doing /etc/init.d/microcode.ctl start after the system is booted. -- 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.

It can be adjusted via /sys/class/firmware/timeout. I set it to 5 and the delay was suitably reduced. This isn't a solution, but it helps narrow down the cause. -- 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.

The kernel is waiting for the completion event from the KOBJ_ADD of the firmware device and it's never coming. The firmware helper updates .../loading when it starts copying the firmware and then only updates it after that to indicate success or failure. There are other failures (like ENOENT) that can occur before then that aren't getting reported to the kernel. -- 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.
