Hi,
I have just updated to the current state in Factory and noticed that the kernel got updated to version 2.6.30-rc6. However after a reboot this kernel indicated that it could not start the system as that my CPU did not supported PAE.
I installed the legacy kernel and this one is working.
Now I am wondering if default has been updated to support only CPU's with PAE and that legacy is intended for the older i586, i686 CPU's.
If the later is the correct one, then I guess it would be nice to report this during the update (or at least in the description of the package).
If your updating with zypper I don't think there is a way to switch away from kernel-default. But when I agreed to this rename, the general idea was that kernel-default would still boot on such CPUs. But somehow we lack test machines with such CPUs, so we were basically wild guessing from the code ;( I'm not sure if we can fix this before Milestone2 - but first I need to find an "old" machine.
