The package installs clean, the lilo or grub gets modified, but the system will not boot the kernel 2.4.x, resulting in kernel panic , like unable to mount root in dev:08:02 or similar.
This is a little like saying Hamlet's soliloquy was: "Should I kill myself" or similar. Without the exact error messages given out it is impossible to say what goes wrong. In brief, the system should definitely be able to boot, assuming the 2.4 kernel series had support for your hardware, but there are a number of programs that have been modified in order to work with the ideas of the 2.6 series, like the move from /proc to /sys, dbus/hal and other changes. So while the system should boot up, it probably won't work very well from that point on
Do i have to force the upgrade to keep some packages from the suse 9.0 version ?? (besides the kernel , of course )
I suspect you need to keep 9.0 on there
