I don't get it. I had a Beta 1 system with 3 installed kernels. I did zypper dup to current factory, expecting when done to still have 3 installed kernels. Instead, all previous kernels disappeared, replaced by 3.1.0-2 only. What happened? I don't see any 12.1 bugs with multiversion in the subject, open or otherwise.
multiversion is for patches and updates. A distribution update will update to _that_ distribution, it's very different to a patch update
Your response seems totally orthogonal to the comments regarding the subject within zypp.conf. From reading them, it seems clear to me the purpose of using the setting is to prevent loss of X number of installed kernels. In my case it utterly failed to do that. Multiversion = provides:multiversion(kernel) worked, so I guess I'll just to back to using that to ensure installing a new kernel doesn't leave me with an unbootable installation. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
