Yet one more reason to keep the old kernel around, especially when using factory. Any Novell people have a _valid_ reason not to keep the most resent kernel when upgrading? -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

The whole story is what we select: update or installation. Update to new version will remove old one, installation of new version will retain the old one. Though, YaST will always update. There is no way to select installation instead of update, which is safe bet with new users, and old ones will find the way around with rpm. -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I would agree with that if it were the GM release _not_ the alpha/beta releases which people are trying to test. We should have a way to keep the old kernel _even in an upgrade_ when testing and as you pointed out YaST will always update. I can imagine how many people got stung by this one. Fortunately for me I use my laptop for testing and I only lost a couple of hours reverting back to the install kernel. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Agree. It is all in post install script. I didn't looked in details how it works, only the part that I had problem with - not creating initrd in some cases. I know that installation (make install) after compilation from sources leaves old kernel, but is that the same script I would have to find out. -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I totally agree that an older kernel should be kept. I'd even say that it could be scripted to keep the last 'n' ones.
