Further patch postinstall script removed all default entries from /lib/modules/2.6.18.8-0.3-default/ except entries in extra subdirectory, 2 scsi and 2 sound that doesn't belong to default kernel in kernel subdirectory. Even if entries in menu.lst would be correct system still would not boot without modules for 2.6.18.8-0.3-default. It is good that extra modules are not removed as well, although they are useless in wrong directory and before recompilation with new kernel, but at least they are here as reminder. This makes "openSUSE 10.2" boot option useless and bad is that it is set to be default. New entry "openSUSE 10.2 - 2.6.18.8-0.5" boots fine, even Linuxant modem driver is recompiled on boot. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
