What was the software you were updating?
It was a series of rpms provided by opensuse update. At the time it looked like about 30-40 rpms. Did not pay much attention at the time.
Also, if you type the following in a konsole, what do you get: rpm -qa | grep kernel

The original error message did not prevent motv from running.
I just recently installed a proprietary nvidia driver on my desktop and I had to make sure that I had kernel-source and kernel-devel installed in order to rebuild the kernel using the nvidia utility.
It seems that you have 3 choices for a driver. You can try and use the opensuse nvidia repository and make sure the driver works from there, or you can try to install the nouveau driver, which is happily used by many people here, or you can look into how to install the proprietary driver that matches your nvidia graphics card, which will require a kernel rebuild
Kernel rebuild is _not_ required to install any Nvidia driver from any source. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
