Description andreas bittner 2008-06-19 10:47:10 UTC 
hello there,

i have upgraded some 11.0 rc1 (or maybe even some later factory build, im not sure any more) to the final 11.0 goldmaster bits via adding/changing the repositories to

http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.0/repo/non-oss/
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.0/repo/oss/

then via "software management", "package", "all packages", "update if newer version available".

it downloaded and upgraded like 2000+ packages (2gigs or so).
after rebooting i get the following lines during bootup and in boot.msg

Comment 1 Dirk Mueller 2008-06-19 13:00:08 UTC 
thats normal, it is because kdm is started before /etc/init.d/kbd completed. preload bug
Comment 2 Stephan Kulow 2008-06-19 13:09:25 UTC 
no, not a bug, that's a feature.

What's $KBD_TTY in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard ?
Comment 3 andreas bittner 2008-06-19 13:45:19 UTC 
in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard i have:

KBD_TTY="tty1 tty2 tty3 tty4 tty5 tty6"


i am using an usb mouse/keyboard combination on this system. but it was the same hardware with 11.0 rc1. there werent any errors there.


i just booted this box again and i had these same errors during boot again. i thought it was still because of the upgrade, but it seems as the errors come up each time.

cheers.
Comment 4 Stephan Kulow 2008-06-23 13:36:44 UTC 
it's very weird in any case, there were no changes from what I remember between rc1 and final in that area.

Does "chkconfig earlyxdm off" help the problem?
Comment 5 andreas bittner 2008-06-23 14:00:58 UTC 
i booted the 11.0 testsystem up today and these messages didnt show up during todays booting.
the other day they showed up during every boot.

also: just some moments ago several kde-related updates and other patches have been offered and installed by the suse updater applet in kde4.
will report back when i see those errors again.

there havent been any changes since the last time i used the testmachine and todays first reboot. so i really dont know why the messages have dissapeared or why the appear in the first place when there were no changes between rc1 and goldmaster as you say.

maybe its some racing conditions, timing issues or something during the booting process.

cheers.
