http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=615680 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=615680#c9 --- Comment #9 from Michal Marek <mmarek@novell.com> 2010-06-21 12:50:40 UTC --- We do not officially support running new kernels in older systems, but we want it to work and to be as easy as possible (for our selfish reason - better testing coverage of the new kernel). Hence my question. Now from my understanding the situation is: new kernel + new X + new mkinitrd (i.e. 11.3 as is) -> GOOD new kernel + new X + old mkinitrd -> BAD new kernel + old X + any mkinitrd -> GOOD correct? IOW it's X that requires the mkinitrd kms scripts (and kms-capable kernel drivers), so the dependency could be added there. Another option would be %if 0%{?suse_version} >= 1130 Requires(post): mkinitrd >= 2.6.0 %else Requires(post): mkinitrd %endif in kernel-*.spec, so that users just wanting to try the new kernel on 11.2 or older won't be bothered by the dependency. BTW, I just submitted mkinitrd with a 2.6.0 version number to Factory. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
