Is the rpm part of your installation source and did you recreate the package database using /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/create_package_descr?
Yep, via a symlink: //suse/i386/8.1/suse/i386/k_smp_vanilla-2.4.25-1.i386.rpm -> ../../../custom/8.1/k_smp_vanilla-2.4.25-1.i386.rpm I am able to install it from yast2 once the install process is over, but of course would prefer to avoid the extra reboot. Any other suggestions? Thanks kindly, Ben

Hi,
I'm having a little trouble getting autoyast to install the desired kernel. I've compiled and packaged 'k_smp_vanilla' and 'k_deflt_vanilla' and would like to install them instead of the stock stuff, but it installs k_smp instead. I'm using autoyast2-2.6.41-3 on SuSE 8.1. Here's the section from my config:
<software> <base>Minimal</base> <kernel>k_smp_vanilla</kernel> <packages config:type="list"> <package>compat</package> <package>apt</package> <package>cfengine</package> <package>xntp</package> </packages> </software>
I'd like to avoid using a chroot script to do this, if possible. Any help would be appreciated.
