[opensuse-factory] ALERT: Confirm this re 11.0 Beta3 current upgrades

Confirm this for yourself.

In recent messages it has been indicated that there is a problem with the kernel which was upgraded in the past (?)few days when zypper goes to upgrade 11.0 Beta3.

Not so as far as I am concerned.

The problem lies somewhere else.

And this is what I am asking you to be aware of and to confirm.

A short while ago I re-installed 11.0 Beta3 after trying a suggestion to fix the non-boot problem of 11.0 Beta3 after the recent upgrades by doing, amongst things, "rm /.buildenv and calling mkinitrd".

Other suggestions also failed, so I decided to re-install 11.0 Beta3 from the DVD, but after installing it I wasn't going to allow zypper or smart to upgrade the kernel to 2.6.25.4-2 which is claimed to be the the cause of all the problems.

Well, it's not the kernel ...25.4-2.

Something else in the Factory to upgrade 11.0 Beta3 is causing the big-time problem.

If you install 11.0 Beta3 to test it then do not allow it to be upgraded by zypper.

(Just for the record, the version I have installed - and before the latest upgrades it was working fine - is the 32-bit version and I was using KDE4 to see what it looked liked.)

Ciao.
