this does still happen http://openqa.opensuse.org/opensuse/testresults/openSUSE-NET-i586-Build1036-11.3dup/timeout-1.png (In reply to comment #1) > this does still happen > http://openqa.opensuse.org/opensuse/testresults/openSUSE-NET-i586-Build1036-11.3dup/timeout-1.png That's weird, preload was fixed already. Maybe you use some mirror which didn't have the up-to-date packages? BTW. why do you have -base package installed? That's wrong for current opensuse and it will not boot properly on most setups. All my NET-installs run from the local openqa mirror which pulls directly from stage.o.o between tests. It even takes extra care to update RPMs before updating metadata and deleting old stuff. Just checked, that my mirror has the same versions as download.o.o. 2011-01-25 10:32 factory/repo/oss/suse/i586/preload-kmp-desktop-1.2_k2.6.37.0_20-4.1.i586.rpm 2011-01-24 18:21 factory/repo/oss/suse/i586/kernel-desktop-2.6.37-20.1.i586.rpm and the dup problem still happened this evening http://openqa.opensuse.org/opensuse/testresults/openSUSE-NET-i586-Build1040-11.3dup/timeout-4.png dup from 11.2 x86_64 worked fine, though. I am rather sure, that I never explicitly asked for the -base packages to be installed, but nevertheless it was on both of my factory notebooks. I tried to uninstall it on my mid-january factory (updated in little steps from MS4 or so) and got told by rpm that it is needed for preload-kmp-default. So maybe libzypp proposed to install this earlier, to satisfy such dependencies? I saw this again at http://openqa.opensuse.org/opensuse/testresults/openSUSE-NET-i586-Build1068-11.3dup/timeout-1.jpg but finally got to the root cause of it: I did the original install with Qemu's 64bit CPU, that has nx bit set and that made yast select kernel-desktop, but the upgrade ran with -cpu qemu32 which lacks the nx bit and would not even boot the kernel-desktop of the 11.3 install. For my tests, I modified the 11.3 base image to have kernel-default & kmp-default installed, which made the upgrade work. Created attachment 414189 [details]

As far as i know preload is dropped from 12.1 (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=680456#c8 or http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/tumbleweed/464147-preload-woes-fibmap-invalid-argument-occasional-slowdown-computer-3.html#post2380317 ) and future versions so i guess users coming from 11.4 should first remove preload and then upgrade to 12.1 via zypper dup. Personally i had manually removed preload since 11.4 so do you think we can put this bug to rest and closed it as Resolved Wontfix since preload is dropped ? With the coming release of openSUSE 12.2, openSUSE kernel developers are focusing their efforts there. Reports against openSUSE 11.4 and prior will not get the attention needed to resolve them before openSUSE 12.2 is release and openSUSE 11.4 becomes unmaintained. Please re-test with openSUSE 12.1 or openSUSE RC2+ and re-open with an updated Product if you still encounter your issue. We apologize for this issue not getting the attention it deserves but we are focusing our resources in the area where they will have the most impact for our users. We're working hard to make openSUSE 12.2 the best openSUSE release yet! |
