Listing all packages shows that the package does not exist (nor does kernel-desktop, etc.). This machine is x86_64. At home, on my 32 bit machine, this worked fine. Here is a log of it failing: # zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/standard KOTD Adding repository 'KOTD' [done] Repository 'KOTD' successfully added Enabled: Yes Autorefresh: No GPG check: Yes URI: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/standard # zypper install -r KOTD kernel-default Building repository 'KOTD' cache [done] Loading repository data...

Trying capabilities. No provider of 'kernel-default' found. Resolving package dependencies... Nothing to do. Expected Results: Expected it to download and install the package and dependencies, build initrd, update grub1's menu.lst with my new kernel, etc. as it did at home on my clunky old 32 bit machine. -- 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.
