For me, it doesn't work on 3/3 11.2 tested. Yast/You doesn't see it and simply updates one kernel with the newer kernel. The radio buttons should be replaced with click boxes, but that doesn't happen unless I list all kernel packages one by one instead of the documented "provides:..." line above. And several posts in the forum concur with this.
cer@Telcontar:~> rpm -q kernel-desktop kernel-desktop-2.6.31.12-0.2.1.x86_64 kernel-desktop-2.6.31.14-0.1.1.x86_64

No multiversion provided. See?
Please read http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/12/08/install-multiple-kernel-versions-usin... comment #6.
"/etc/zypp/zypp.conf:multiversion = provides:multiversion(kernel)" is a feature available with openSUSE 11.3 and newer.
However, the configuration file that came with 11.2 contradicts you: ## ## Packages which can be installed in different versions at the same time. ## ## Packages are selected either by name, or by provides. In the later case ## the string must start with "provides:" immediately followed by the capability. ## ## Example: ## kernel - just packages whith name 'kernel' ## provides:multiversion(kernel) - all packages providing 'multiversion(kernel)' ## (kenel and kmp packages should do this) Now, both you and Marcus say that only 11.3 and beyond have that feature. Then why does 11.2 says it has it if it doesn't? - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
