Greetings.

Upgraded a laptop to 11.0, and then attempted to plug an encrypted disk
into it.  Result;
Asked for password, but drive was never mounted.  From the syslog;

May 24 20:26:29 sdaLaptop kernel: sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI disk
May 24 20:26:29 sdaLaptop kernel: sd 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2

May 24 20:26:43 sdaLaptop kernel: padlock: VIA PadLock Hash Engine not

Since this happened during an upgrade, I figured that this was another
thing that SuSE broke during the upgrade from 10.3 to 11.0.  Did a bunch
of googling, and found some drivers to blacklist.  Ok, blacklisted the
suggested kernel drivers, the error went away, but still no automount
after entering the password.  Did some more digging, end eventually found;

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/189398
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=402609
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=396209

Ok, so not an issue from Suse.  An issue when going from an AMD system
to an Intel system.  Ok, fine.  This is an issue I am willing to pay to
see fixed.  So, especially since there is no contact info on the bug
reports, and they do not seem to allow public access, how does one find
the relevant parties, and contact them re: Will pay to fix?  For that
matter, how does one contact them that they have a major bug open, since
they seem to be ignoring it?

Regards,
Steve
