Hi again. As mentioned in another message with the same subject, I have problems with a SuSE kernel k_deflt-2.4.4-35.i386.rpm I try to install it on a suse 7.2 with kernel 2.4.4-4GB. If I try an rpm -lq k_deflt it tells me, that its the kernel 2.4.4-4GB that is installed. Do I make an rpm -qi, I get the message that kernel k_default-2.4.4-35.i386.rpm is not installed. With Yast1 I can see, that it IS installed. Am I confused ??. Oh yes I am :-) -- Med venlig hilsen / Best regards /vy73 de oz4kk Erik Jakobsen - erik@urbakken.dk

When you do this, do you type rpm -qi k_deflt-2.4.4-35.i386.rpm ? You have to type the package name only. Not the rpm name rpm -qi k_deflt. And about the error message with mk_initrd: If you have any module that needs to be loaded to reach your root partition, say your disk is scsi, or the root partition is reiserfs, then you need an initrd with those modules in it. If your disk is ide and your root is ext2 you won't need an initrd and mk_initrd will give you those errors. Just ignore them. Just do lilo and reboot. regards Anders

?
No i do not.

rpm -qi k_deflt.
I do this. Then it is shown, that its the 2.4.4-4GB, and not what I wanted the 2.4.4-35.
And about the error message with mk_initrd:

OK.
Just ignore them. Just do lilo and reboot.
I do, as my disks are ide's. But how do I manage the problem to get the wanted kernel be the active ??. The way I install it is the way that suse mention on the support database.

These numbers are two different things. the -4GB is part of the kernel name, the -35 is part of the rpm name. If you do rpm -q k_deflt, you should see the -35 as that gives you the rpm name. regards Anders
