And of course, true to the "open" nature of openSUSE, no explanation, nothing. You guys at SuSE - you're not making this particularly easy, are you?
Since when does open source mean "you have to do everything we tell you"?
It never did, but one of the core ideas of "open" is cooperation. And that's one thing I didn't see in that report. Being told "bah, not supported." is like having a door slammed in your face. I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking it's not particularly conducive to openness and cooperation.
If you don't like it, submit patches to the opensuse project
Pretty much what I did in the report - the solution is straight forward, just add "jfs" to the INITRD_MODULES settings when /etc/sysconfig/kernel is created. But the SuSE guys obviously didn't like it, and decided to fob me off with a "not supported". By the way, where should patches be submitted? Is there an official maintainer list? For instance, where would I submit a patch for fixing this initrd problem? And where do I check what the official specs are? I mean, I could go write the patch only to be told "we don't need it, coz' we don't support it". /Per Jessen, Zürich
