After the update: By default, xen-kmp-desktop-3.4.1_19718_04_2.6.31.5_0.1-2.1.x86_64 will be installed in OS. But the module(s) of this driver isn't loaded at this time e.g. linux-hb7t:~ # rpm -qa | grep xen-kmp xen-kmp-desktop-3.4.1_19718_04_2.6.31.5_0.1-2.1.x86_64 linux-hb7t:~ #

How did you verify that those modules don't get loaded? In particular for plaform-pci, the driver would need to be blacklisted in order to prevent its loading (as it otherwise gets loaded automatically due to it servicing a present PCI device). I would really think that the drivers get loaded, and that's what is causing the problems. Consequently, a workaround would appear to be to uninstall xen-kmp-* right after the kernel update, before rebooting the VM. -- 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.

I would think that if they are not present when a kernel upgrade is done then they shouldn't be installed.

Yes, absolutely. And imo a 'supplements' note generally shouldn't have that effect, unless perhaps an update adds it anew. If that latter scenario was the case here, then the Xen KMPs definitely will need special handling, or the update process would have to properly alter other kernel configuration (root= boot option, /etc/fstab, list of drivers in initrd).
