UDEV: OpenSuse 11.3 + Old kernel 2.6.29

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

Hello everybody

I have a OpenSuse 11.3(m7) installed into my toshiba tecra s3 laptop.

I need to run an old kernel, 2.6.29, but when I boot this kernel the xwindows are unusable because of udev not handling well my mouse(usb) and keyboard.

I’m not an expert on udev rules, so I need your help.

I’ve got “udevadm monitor” output, running 2.6.34(opensuse 11.3 default kernel) and running 2.6.29(my custom kernel), and this is the output when I unplug and then plug my usb mouse:

Kernel 2.6.34:
monitor will print the received events for:
UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing
KERNEL - the kernel uevent

As you can see, udev recognizes the event but it handles the event in a slightly different manner.

How can I debug this udev problem? What udev rules does handle the mouse events? What program is invoced by udev when it detects a new mouse?

Thx in advance!!!

As 11.3 is still not released, do you mind when this is moved to “Pre-Release/Beta”?

#3

I don’t mind… :slight_smile:

#4

Done. Hope you get help.

#5

Why is 2.6.29 needed? The udev rules are a real mess - perhaps we can
make 2.6.34 work.

#6

jejeje…yes, I need 2.6.29 because my laptop is frozen anytime I run KVM/VirtualBox with kernels 2.6.30+…

If this is a real mess…then I will have to find another solution…

Thx anyway!!

That is not general. I am running VirtualBox on kernel 2.6.35-rc1 and
have used it on every kernel since it came out, which I think was 2.6.23.
