Hi,
I've been using openSUSE as my private-server-distro of choice for a few years now (so apologies in advance for being blissfully ignorant of the inner workings of these systems). Since it's a Xen guest I'm using Kernel:stable/kernel-xen. Before that I used the kernel tied to the current openSUSE release. So far so good. BUT, on boot I'd always see the I8042 driver taking some time to detect hardware, only to throw an error telling me it couldn't: [ 1.268512] i8042: No controller found This makes sense, I'm running headless. There didn't seem to be a readily available solution to this problem, so I let it be.
Now it turns out that folks at Arch Linux got annoyed by the same thing and pushed a few patches to upstream[0]. The final realization was with kernel 3.13[1]. Would it be possible to do the same in openSUSE? In particular: CONFIG_SERIO=m CONFIG_SERIO_I8042=m CONFIG_SERIO_LIBPS2=m # not entirely sure about this one CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=m
As far as I can tell this should be reasonably safe on Xen, even safer on kernel-ec2. It might also be time to do this for the -default and -desktop kernels. I don't have nearly enough experience with Linux to know the exact impact that would have. Would be nice to bypass this step during boot on boxes `in the cloud', though.
Wouldn't this mean that kernel-xen used as Dom0 would run into problems if the initrd failed? - -Jeff
Thanks!
