https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=648408 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=648408#c0 Summary: hanging boot with custom kernel Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: ro@novell.com ReportedBy: mszeredi@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Development Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=396348) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=396348) Proposed fix (tested) If CONFIG_DEVTMPFS is not enabled then boot hangs without any indication about what the problem is. This is because if devtmpfs is not available /etc/init.d/boot falls back to tmpfs for /dev. But this way /dev/console will not exist and no boot messages will be printed. Without a properly initialized /dev booting will also fail in various other ways. -- 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.
