You did not query for "kernel list". You queried for packages with name starting with "kernel-". You got exactly for you asked for.

- maybe, simplest, after command : as root

# rpm -qa kern*

I'd suggest you put that into quotation marks, just in case you have a file staring with 'kern' in your current directory... an unquoted * works as shell expansion then. And to have a better view of it, I use rpm -qa 'kernel*' | sort And do the rest the way you described :-) Just my 2¢ -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

touch /boot/do_purge_kernels systemctl start purge-kernels

Post output of "systemctl status purge-kernels" after that.

There was a problem that purge-kernels was confused by such names. You may want to search bugzilla and either add "me too" or open new bug report.

Thanks. Will do.

Which is correct, because package kernel-default-3.13.2-14.gb59b809 does not exist. It gets confused over release designation (14.2.gb59b809 vs. 14.gb59b809).
