           Summary: Separate kernel modules from kernel image
           Product: SUSE Linux 10.1

          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Basesystem

When upgrading a kernel, the kernel modules are deleted. This means the running
kernel won't be able to load modules anymore. Also, the kernel on the
installation medium will be useless to boot the installed system.

Therefore, at most three sets of kernel modules should be installed:

- modules of the installation kernel
- modules of the currently running kernel
- modules of the currently installed kernel

This is a robustness enhancement. It also saves reboots on updates that don't
affect your particular situation.
