http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=506728 Summary: Kernel renaming in Factory causes issues after reboot Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Factory Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: tittiatcoke@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.2; Linux) KHTML/4.2.87 (like Gecko) SUSE In the latest Factory (Saturday May 23), the new 2.6.30 kernel went through a renaming. It appears that the kernel-default (which was always the correct one for the i386, i586, i686 kernels) was renamed to kernel-legacy. The kernel-pae was renamed to kernel-default. If someone in this situation and updates his installed kernel-default-2.6.29 to the newer kernel-default-2.6.30 kernel, then after a reboot the kernel will report that his system is missing the PAE functionality. This could cause that people are no longer able to boot their systems. It would be much better if the packages are configured in such a way that installed kernel-default is being replaced with the kernel-legacy, etc. This would avoid situations where the system becomes unbootable. Also an announcement in opensuse-factory would be good to make people aware.
