I'm trying to set up an encrypted root on opensuse 10.2, following the wiki.
When I boot into it, it stops for the password. Unfortunately, I have
a usb keyboard and it does not work during the boot process.
I notice in /boot/config-2.6.18.2-34-default that there is a section as follows:
#
# USB HID Boot Protocol drivers
#
# CONFIG_USB_KBD is not set
# CONFIG_USB_MOUSE is not set
CONFIG_USB_AIPTEK=m
..
..
I assume the reason my keyboard and mouse don't work during boot is
because these two modules are not set. I wonder why they aren't, when
everything else in that USB HID boot section is a module???
Anyway, it seems I need to compile my own kernel and enable these two
modules. I'm reading the kernel-source README.SUSE and it says
there's a way to use rpm to build a package, but it isn't explained.
Specifially it states:
"Instead of building binary kernels by hand, you can also build one of
the kernel-$FLAVOR packages using RPM."
I also can't find any howto on the wiki. Anyone know a link to the
instructions.
If not, I guess I'll try downloading the
kernel-source-2.6.18.2-34.src.rpm and see if it will work.
TIA,
