I recently filed a bug (#597299) regarding a problem with bluetooth / WiFi module vt6655-stage crashing the kernel with an Oops during boot. No response to the bug report yet (still at NEW, not assigned - I imagine the team is very busy at the moment, so no surprise there). So to try to debug this I thought I could use kernel parameter "BrokenModules" to stop this module vt6655_stage.ko from loading. However, none of "BrokenModules=vt6655", "BrokenModules=vt6655-stage" and "BrokenModules=vt6655_stage" have any effect, the module still loads and crashes the system. I can see this by using a serial console. Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong / why it doesn't work? BTW: it's not in the initrd (checked /etc/sysconfig/kernel & confirmed by opening up the initrd with cpio to check). Renaming the module e,g, to vt6655_stage_DONOTUSE.ko initially worked and phase 2 of the installation ran, somehow it reinstated the module though and now it's failing in exactly the same way. Now I really am stumped! -- Cheers Richard (MQ) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
