[Bug 547448] New: upgrade from M8 to RC1: old kernel still in /boot and grub.conf, new kernel not in grub.conf
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=547448 Summary: upgrade from M8 to RC1: old kernel still in /boot and grub.conf, new kernel not in grub.conf Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jnelson-suse@jamponi.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.9.0.14) Gecko/2009090900 SUSE/3.0.14-0.1.2 Firefox/3.0.14 After upgrading from M8 to RC1 on x86_64, /boot still contained the old kernel and initrd in addition to the new kernel, but the grub.conf still referenced the old kernel with no reference to the new kernel. I noticed this only because after rebooting I had no network, no sound, etc... because the kernel modules couldn't be loaded. Had to repair by hand.

From the description I think the problem was some mess with the -base subpackage (the kernel was there, but most modules were missing), but's it's hard to tell what exactly happened without the y2logs (which contain the rpm installation history).
