http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=974802 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=974802#c2 --- Comment #2 from James Carlson --- I was able to fix this problem for my system, and I'm documenting the fixes here in case they might help someone else. The first part of the fix was to add this file to ensure that the initrd image had the right drivers in it: % cat /etc/dracut.conf.d/50-md-raid.conf add_drivers+="md-mod raid1 raid456" The second part of the fix (and apparently the key part) was the addition of this file. The key part is the addition of "TasksMax=infinity", which is missing from the normal system definition of this service. This is the key reason my system wasn't bootable. It seems to be still unfixed in the current opensuse tumbleweed system. % cat /etc/systemd/system/systemd-udevd.service # This file is part of systemd. # # systemd is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it # under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by # the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, or # (at your option) any later version.
