[opensuse-factory] Kerneloops with kernel head repo and 11.2 system
Hello, I'm running an 11.2 system with the kernel from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_11.2/ The kernel oopses very early in the boot process. The problem has been there for 2-3 weeks (sorry for being that imprecise and late, but I've been very busy for the last weeks). There was a problem with HEAD a few months ago that looked similar and IIRC was some interaction between kernel and boot process in initrd. Is that problem back?

I can create a photograph with a lousy mobile phone cam of a screen 80x24 (or whatever the normal vga resolution is). Does that really help? If not, how do I proceed to get something useable? If you let me know, I'll create a bug with some more details and the photo (or whatever).

http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt suggests ttyUSB0 should be valid but I've never tried it (yet).

For an oops, no, it will not work. You need interrupts to get USB to work properly, and a usb-to-serial console device needs interrupts to get the console data out. Oh, and the usb-to-serial-console code was written as a drunken bet one night, don't rely on it always working properly. It has gotten a lot better recently, but there are still some issues for some devices with it. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
