[opensuse] Two or more kernels
Hello! Is it possible to install 2 or more kernels in openSUSE? Yesterday I tried new kernel 3.2 from TW (Tumbleweed) and got problem. I couldn't load openSUSE. So, I used live CD to downgrade kernel. If had old and new kernels both, I could have chosen old kernel in grub menu and loaded openSUSE successful.

Hi, yes it is possible to have multiple kernels displayed. Go to Kmenu (linux icon on lower left of kicker panel, if you are using kde desktop)> Applications> System > File Manager > File Manager-Super User Mode. Look in Root> /etc/zypp/zypp.conf Find this line # multiversion = provides:multiversion(kernel) Either remove the # at the beginning of the line, or do as I do like this: # multiversion = provides:multiversion(kernel) multiversion = provides:multiversion(kernel) Save the modified /etc/zypp/zypp.conf file. When you reboot, you will have multiple kernels available to select from in grub.

Find this line
# multiversion = provides:multiversion(kernel)
Either remove the # at the beginning of the line, or do as I do like this:
# multiversion = provides:multiversion(kernel) multiversion = provides:multiversion(kernel)
Save the modified /etc/zypp/zypp.conf file.
When you reboot, you will have multiple kernels available to select from in grub.

Just changing that line will _not_ automatically give you multiple kernels on a reboot, you have to install another kernel for that. I use: multiversion = provides:multiversion(kernel) multiversion.kernels = latest,latest-1,running to limit the number of kernels kept on the system. -- 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

Does it automatically configure grup menu? Yesterday I downgraded new 3.2 kernel, but grub wasn't reconfigured. It shows 2 kernels, but I have only one. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Why are you still guessing? I pointed you at the definitive, official, correct, answer to all questions the day before. http://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/html/openSUSE/opensuse-tuning/cha.tuni... -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Just changing that line will _not_ automatically give you multiple kernels on a reboot, you have to install another kernel for that. That's true, certainly not a point that I addressed. I use:
multiversion = provides:multiversion(kernel) multiversion.kernels = latest,latest-1,running
to limit the number of kernels kept on the system. Thanks for posting that. Its a good tip. I have used Yast to get rid
