Dear people,
Needed some newer pre release software for a recent bought laptop (Lennovo G505)
It runs fine but after kernel 13+ mkinitrd started to fail (worked in the first versions of the 13+ kernel).
Have tried different versions of kernel-desktop, kernel-firmware, ucode-amd. But no avail.
OS Version is opensuse 13.1
kernel-desktop: kernel-desktop-3.14.rc6-4.1.x86_64
kernel-firmware: kernel-firmware-20140319git-36.1.noarch
ucode-amd: ucode-amd-20140319git-36.1.noarch
The error message is:
Kernel image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.14.0-1.g79de0a7-desktop
Initrd image: /boot/initrd-3.14.0-1.g79de0a7-desktop

Try ‘cp --help’ for more information.
Script /lib/mkinitrd/setup/91-amd_microcode.sh failed!
There was an error generating the initrd (1)

Can’t tell what you mean by 13+, but Factory replaced mkinitrd with dracut,
which is what you should be using for kernels newer than those intended for 13.1.
