Holgi, it would be interesting which version introduces the EDD regression. To
find that out, you don't have to make full installations. Only boot the kernel
(let's say, on a 10.3 system or on a 11.0 system) and look for that EDD warning
in the boot log ('dmesg|grep -i edd').
Can you verify that 10.3 didn't show that warning? Is the system i386 or x86-64
(in hardware)? Can you also try kernel-vanilla? When we know that 10.3-vanilla
(just use the kernel-vanilla RPMs we provide) is good and the 11.0-vanilla is
bad, then we can do a git bisect.
No, I don't think that bugs with our openSUSE kernel are 'invalid' and only
mainline kernel is valid, but with our kernel CVS it's much more work to do a
bisect than with mainline git.
In the changelog of mainline kernel there are no changes in EDD area, so I
don't think that EDD is directly broken. But I think there's some side effect
of other stuff.
Please do all tests with different kernel RPMs with one bootloader
installation. While the bootloader doesn't _directly_ influence EDD, it's still
a BIOS -> kernel issue where the bootloader is just in between.
