kernel:/stable ... additionale "kernel-firmware-XXXX-2020413-35.1.noarch.rpm", How to use?

Deutsch (German) Installation/Administration

Hi,

hin und wieder erhöhe ich die “default-Kernelversion” mit, resp. aus:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/x86_64/
und
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/noarch/

bevor ich einfach drauflos rpm inst. (etwas ist, für mich, zusätzlich “neu”??)
üblich ist für mich:

kernel-default-567_31-xxxx.rpm - kernel-firmware-20200413-35.1.noarch.rpm*]kernel-doc*]kernel-doc-html*]ucode-amd-20200413-35.1.noarch.rpm*]und ein “ucode-intel-20190507-lp151.1.1.x86_64.rpm” z.B. aus Leap15.1

Neu entdeckte ich, dass etliche “kernel-firmware-XXXX-20200413-35.1.noarch.rpm” angeboten werden. z.B.:

kernel-firmware-platform-20200413-35.1.noarch.rpm - kernel-firmware-realtek
-20200413…]media, intel, i915, atheros, sound, serial usw.]und insb. ein "kernel-firmware-all-20200413… bedeutet?

Genügt es, nach wie vor, die “üblichen rpm” zu installieren > und gut ist?
Resp. die einzelnen (neuen, z.B. network, iwlwifi, usw.) nur bei Bedarf (in Abhängigkeit der Hardware) zusätzlich inst.?
oder besser vom Repository “…Kernel:/stable/standard/noarch/” einfach alle spezifische “kernel-firmware-XXXX…noarch.rpm” installieren?

Die Firmware wurde auf mehrere Pakete verteilt. Zum Ausprobieren des neuesten Standard-Kernel sollte man schrittweise vorgehen:

Besten Dank.

Ich verstehe zwar noch nicht genau, ob jetzt zwei Varianten angeboten werden:

Variante 1: kernel-Firmware-ALL-20200413-35.1.noarch.rpm UND sämtliche spezifische wie Sound, amdgpu, usw., nebst default-kernel-5.6.7.xx, usw. JEDOCH ohne “kernel-Firmware-20200413-35.1.noarch.rpm” (98MB) oder - Variante 2 (alt): “kernel-Firmware-20200413-35.1.noarch.rpm” und Default-kernel-5.6.7.xx, plus ucode-xx, plus kernel-Firmware-docs-html

… zum Ausprobieren … sollte man schrittweise vorgehen

somit > eher Variante 1
Funktioniert auch Variante 2? ist im “kernel-Firmware-20200413-35.1.noarch.rpm” 98MB alles drin?
StableVersion-ist noch ganz frisch-Datum 28.4.2020

Ich hab’s noch nicht gemacht. Andererseits mache ich so viel, dass ich mir über so Fitzeliges keine Gedanken mache.

the proof of the pudding is the eating:

Hi,
ich probierte (eat pudding), resp. inst. wie erwähnt bloss die rpm-Pakete:

dann (passte ich noch in grub.cfg die auto-vertauschten Partitionen [hdX, msdosX] von root & boot [sep.] an und folgend liess ich in & durch YaST2-Bootloader > das initrd/resp.Bootloader mit OK-Bestätigung neu schreiben)
Resultat: POST > GRUB2-Boot-SelectScreen > macht boot.log, meldet dabei zwei [FAILED] > Anmeldedialog > Tastatur aktiv, Maus funktioniert nicht!

ALT-CTRL-F2
Zuerst /var/log/boot.log mittels #cat boot.log ENTER (Fehler 1: systemd-modules-load, Kernel module konnten nicht geladen werden // Fehler 2: etwas mit postfix.service [ca. Mail-agent])
Dann #systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service ENTER (mit Scroll-Lock-Taste stoppen/pausen/“interrupten” > damit lesbar) > eben Kernel-module nicht loaded.
ich aktivierte probeweise im BIOS unter USB-Konfig eine Option “XHCI-HandOff” > in Hoffnung, dass Maus am Anmeldedialog funktionieren könnte.
in Verzweiflung versuchte ich zusätzlich einfach mal ein “kernel-firmware-USB-net…noarch.rpm” (ja, eines aus all diesen separaten “kernel-firmware-XXXX.noarch”) zu installieren > interessante Fehlermeldung erscheint, ca.: dracut needed, ich habe in /boot ein leerer Ordner namens dracut, für was ist dracut?

Weil ich den Anmeldedialog nicht füllen & abschliessen konnte, kopierte eine “gesicherte-grub.cfg” vom kernel-default 516xx zurück ins /boot/grub2/, löschte die aktuelle “grub.cfg” und nannte die “gesicherte-grub.cfg” wieder in grub.cfg um. Mit #init 6 ein Neustart. Damit konnte ich wieder (mit 516xx/4171xx) in den KDE-Desktop rein.
