[Bug 463448] New: kernel-default replaced by kernel-pae
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=463448 Summary: kernel-default replaced by kernel-pae Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: i386 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Update Problems AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: koenig@linux.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- updating a P4 2400 with 512 MB ram from 11.0 to 11.1 the kernel-default got replaced by kernel-pae. why ? for this hardware a PAE kernel is not neccessary, so why not stay with kernel-default ? maybe the same issue: a friend installed 11.1 32bit (RC1) in a vmware with less than 1 GB ram. here I noticed too that the PAE kernel got installed while I thought the -default kernel would fit better ?!? -- 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.
