We received additional reports of breakage if you have additionaly the UserMode Linux Kernel package "kernel-um" installed.

Just went into the same trap and had to revive my system by calling mkinitrd from the rescue system. But the question is: Why is the UserMode Linux package installed on my system?
I guess you selected at one time "kernel-development" as option to install.
It is part of the kernel update ... if you look closely when doing a YOU, you will see that it is documented in the description of included packages.
That's not right - the patch mentions kernel-default,kernel-smp, kernel-um, ltmodem etc - and only those that are installed will get updated. So, if you do not have kernel-um installed, it will not get updated. Otherwise everybody on the list should have kernel-um installed;-) Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
