(Did not have the opportunity to test this with factory yet) It started with kernel 3.5.0-36 and holds also true for kernel 3.5.1-37. When installing a new kernel (it doesn't matter if this is done by zypper or yast2) the purge-kernels script does not get invoked on the next boot process anymore and the old kernel(s) including source and devel packages remain on the disk instead of being removed as configured in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf. During kernel installation the file /boot/do_purge_kernels is created as it should be. On the next boot process the purge-kernels script is not executed and the file /boot/do_purge_kernels is still present after the reboot. This is true for every subsequent boot process. On the other hand, logging in on a console as root and executing "purge-kernels" manually removes old kernel(s) and packages properly as configured. My conclusion is, that the purge-kernels script is working properly since it is removing older kernel(s) as configured and the file /boot/do_purge_kernels is deleted correctly afterwards, when executed manually from a command line. It seems that the script does not get invoked automatically on a reboot anymore. There are no entries in /var/log/messages concerning purge-kernels. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install new kernel 2. Reboot 3. Actual Results: The purge-kernels script is not executed after the installation of a new kernel and a subsequent reboot of the system. Old kernel(s) still on disk instead of being removed as configured in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf. File /boot/do_purge_kernels still present after reboot. -- 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.
