Description Richard Bos 2005-03-13 19:25:23 UTC

The initial boot screen states: 'Press ESC for more information'. 
But nothing nothing happens when ESC is selected until some 
where halfway the boot process.  Would be nice if this message could be 
added to the bootscreen when pressing ESC actually works. 
 
I heart other people complaining about this as well.

Something for later...

Comment 2 Michael Schröder 2005-04-20 12:26:41 UTC

You mean the kernel should write the message if the keyboard got initialized?

Comment 3 Andreas Jaeger 2007-05-03 07:30:14 UTC

We're not fixing this for 9.3.  If this bug still exists in openSUSE 10.2, please reopen and change the product.

Comment 4 Richard Bos 2007-05-03 20:53:45 UTC

It still exists in openSUSE-10.2.  The problem is related to my keyboard,
which is a wireless USB keyboard.  The <ESC> button does not work until
the USB drivers have been loaded and activated by the init process.

The msg "press ESC for more information" should only be shown after the USB
drivers have been loaded for computers that have a USB keyboard.

Is this solved in current versions? 

(just shaking old bugs during openSUSE Bug Day)

I'll close this report with WONTFIX as 10.3 is out of support, so it is sure that it will be not fixed for that version.

If bug still exists in newer versions of openSUSE which  is currently 11.2 and above, please reopen the report and set "Product:" information to affected version.

Comment 7 Richard Bos 2010-11-30 16:29:06 UTC

I don't see the problem; this is with openSUSE_11.2 _and_ with new hardware.  So, I can't say what solved the problem.  However, no new bug report is needed, that is for sure ;)
