Here are the steps I undertook to check purge-kernels behaviour and what resulted from my actions: 1. Did a fresh install of factory to exclude all errors resulting from me tinkering with the system settings. 2. Dracut was installed by zypper during the upgrade to factory so I just added the patched purge-kernels script to /sbin. /usr/lib/systemd/system/purge-kernels.service was already present 3. I checked that /usr/lib/systemd/system-preset/90-default-openSUSE.preset included the line "enable purge-kernels.service" and it did. I also discovered that the file /usr/lib/systemd/system-preset/99-default-disable.preset includes the line "disable *" Does that mean, that all services are disabled again? I don't understand this. 4. Installed a new kernel and rebooted. The oldest kernel did not get deleted. The file /boot/do_purge_kernels was still present 5. Rebooted a second time to make sure the command in 3. could be executed properly by the system. Oldest kernel and /boot/do_purge_kernels still present 6. Typed the following command in a Terminal: "systemctl status purge-kernels.service" which gave the following message: "purge-kernels.service - Purge old kernels Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/purge-kernels.service; disabled) Active: inactive (dead)" 7. Typed the following command in a Terminal: "systemctl enable purge-kernels.service" ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/purge-kernels.service' '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/purge-kernels.service' and rebooted again 8. After the reboot the oldest kernel and /boot/do_purge_kernels were gone 9. Typed the following command in a Terminal: "systemctl status purge-kernels.service purge-kernels.service - Purge old kernels Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/purge-kernels.service; enabled) Active: inactive (dead) since Sat 2013-12-21 13:09:58 CET; 30s ago Process: 1846 ExecStart=/sbin/purge-kernels (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 711 ExecStartPre=/bin/rm -f /boot/do_purge_kernels (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 1846 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) CGroup: /system.slice/purge-kernels.service Dec 21 13:09:58 factory-gnome-test purge-kernels[1846]: Removed: Dec 21 13:09:58 factory-gnome-test purge-kernels[1846]: kernel-desktop-3.11.6...
