Anders,
I beg your pardon? I've installed several dozen suse kernel rpms, and I've never seen one yet that didn't update /boot. Is /boot on a separate partition, and was in mounted when you installed the rpm?
It's on the same partition. The package I installed is kernel-source-2.4.166-i586.rpm. There isn't another kernel package that I can find, on my system or off it. To demonstrate: temoku:/var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/9.0/rpm/i586 # rpm -Uvh --force kernel-source-2.4.21-166.i586.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:kernel-source ########################################### [100%] temoku:/var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/9.0/rpm/i586 # cd /boot temoku:/boot # ls . initrd-2.4.21-199-default .. initrd.shipped Kerntypes-2.4.21-199-default lost+found System.map message System.map-2.4.19-4GB.pre-win4lin vmlinux-2.4.21-199-default.gz System.map-2.4.21-199-default vmlinuz System.map.win4lin vmlinuz-2.4.21-199-default boot vmlinuz.shipped config-2.4.21-199-default win4lin grub win4lin.config initrd As you can see, boot still has the same vmlinuz etc. -- -Josh Berkus ______AGLIO DATABASE SOLUTIONS___________________________ Josh Berkus Enterprise vertical business josh@agliodbs.com and data analysis solutions (415) 752-2387 and database optimization fax 651-9224 utilizing Open Source technology San Francisco
