However due to another bug in Factory regarding mkinitrd, I had to find another way of creating the required initrd to be able to boot the system with the new kernel. All my attempts with mkinitrd ended either without an initrd image or with a non-bootable image. On IRC I got the indication that openSUSE also has the dracut package which is an alternative to mkinitrd.
Is it possible to install dracut as replacement for mkintrd? In Mandriva we used alternatives and I have been running with dracut for quite some time without issues. Unless it is integrated in normal toolchain, it is hard to really test it.

we played a little bit with it today... mainly the guys who are one step ahead the bleeding edge... you find us in opensuse-kde...
it boots...
I have installed Dracut from software.opensuse.org a few months ago and it has been booting my laptop ever since. So yeah, it works ;-)
