Here's a bit more detail. The problem started on the first boot after install. The boot hung at: "Creating device nodes with udev" I waited for a while, with nothing happening and no disk activity. I then had to force a power off. On resume, I removed "splash=silent quiet" from the kernel line, as in the main bug report. I wanted to see what was happening. I was not prompted at all. No prompt for the key for either swap or "/home". However, boot proceeded, and Yast started up to complete the install. Part way through, Yast warned that "/home" was not mounted. I used CTL-ALT-F2 to get a command line, and I manually unlocked "/home". I tried to then mount "/home", but an error message said that it was already mounted. So presumably there was a background process running that was trying to mount, but could not. CTL-ALT-F7 got me back to Yast, which completed the final install stages. I then logged into KDE. Using an "xterm", I also unlock swap and did "swapon -a" to add the swap. I then ran "mkinitrd". Everything now works, unless I try to repeat the problem of the initial bug definition. I have not tried to reproduce the boot hang, as I would probably have to do a complete reinstall to get the appropriate conditions. My guesses about that boot hang: 1) It could be an accidental glitch that will never happen again. 2) It could be because I also have an encrypted LVM on that disk, and the installer insists on adding that to "/etc/crypttab" even though it is not needed for the 12.2 RC1 running system. 3) The may have been a problem in the "initrd" generated during install. My best guess is that it is (3), perhaps compounded by (2). I'll note that the plymouth screen never started up during that initial boot, which probably explains why I saw that "udev" message (it should have been hidden). There does seem to be a problem with the initial creation of "initrd". It apparently decides what to put in "initrd" based partly on what is currently running. And when the first "initrd" is created, the install DVD is what is running. So the crypto for swap/resume never made it into to the initial "initrd", but did make it into the "initrd" that I regenerated after login. plymouth was not properly started by systemd in the event it wasn't started by initrd (your case, by removing splash=quiet). This is fixed in plymouth package from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/fcrozat:/branches:/Base:/System/openSUSE_12.2_Update_standard/ (should be available soon). I'll push to Factory and 12.2 This is an autogenerated message for OBS integration: This bug (774400) was mentioned in https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/130419 Factory / plymouth packages haven't been pushed on 12.2 update yet, in the mean time, use: zypper ar obs://openSUSE:Maintenance:771/openSUSE_12.2_Update maintenance-fix-for-plymouth zypper up |
