It's 128kb wasted disk space. And in return for that waste, no update problems anymore. Sounds like a fair deal.

It would mean, I can't have "preload" turned on for desktop kernel, with it off on the default kernel for comparison. Could a kernel update, obsolete past versions of the preload_kmp package? May be the solver then would recommend preload-kmp removal, instead of hefty downgrade to 11.4 kernel, followed by upgrade once the preload-kmp is rebuilt In factory thread (see http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.suse.opensuse.devel/33839) came across same "FIBMAP" problem, Stefan commented on (see http://old.nabble.com/linux-login%3A-FIBMAP%3A-Invalid-argument-td29040908.h...) and I have vague memory of patching the script just after 11.2 came out to ignore pids < 0 or some such. Either there's good reasons not to install preload, or it needs to save the errors to file and syslog a summary report after it's done on booting. If there's good reasons not to have the preload-kmp module on a system, perhaps the feature is more trouble than it's worth? Time from GRUB -> kdm login 32 secs with preload 33 secs without Think that may not be the best test, as it may help getting to a responsive desktop more; I know preload is still running after kdm because that's when the FIBMAP errors occur.
