Re: [SLE] Kernel Update
I have spent a few days with a variation of this problem - I have an ATA 40Gb drive and a SATA 160Gb drive, and whenever I allow YOU to update my SuSE v10.0 I lose the SATA drive. The problem appears to be resolved by unticking the Kernel update within You, and keeping the old kernel, but this does mean that my machine constantly thinks it has updates available :( I have moved across to SuSE from Fedora, as SuSE doesn't seem to have as many problem issues (not being such a bleeding edge distro) but I have to admit this particular issue never cropped up in Fedora :) Regards Steve Sheldon@solidlinux.co.uk

It's more readily resolved by leaving it installed, including in menu.lst, in the first place, which is what Mandriva's URPMI does by default. I would expect no less from YOU, but it apparently disappoints in this regard.
The easiest way to do this, ie, maintain the new and the previous kernel versions would be to use the command rpm directly. What YOU (or Yast) does is to install the newer version, and remove the old; there is no provision that I know of to keep the previous version. I remember some SuSE developer answering this same question time ago, so this is conclusive -

You have to do manual updates, and mark the kernel as "taboo" every single time you open up YOU. This feature, aka bug, has been there for years :-/ Forget about automatic updates: you should remove that applet, it is useless for you. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDy7SXtTMYHG2NR9URAkYSAKCFQIw7hBBYgkMrEHOKtvIOHFM59QCdFiGX 2VAvCL+jr+26cl9JFzATHnE= =ahXW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

There is a workaround: remove the "offending" package from the rpm data base (use the --justdb option of rpm). That way, YOU will not think that there is anything to be done and the applet will again report when there are (useful) updates available. Greetings from Stuhr hartmut
