As from 11.2 there will be an 18 months support instead of the 24 previously.
That's bad news. :-(
Not if we have a tool to upgrade without server downtime. ;-))
Is it no longer necessary to reboot when a new kernel version is installed?
It will probably still be necessary "by system", but it is already currently not necessary if you do by hand:
cd /lib/modues mkdir x cp -al `uname -r` x/ cd /boot mkdir x cp -a *`uname -r`* x/ cd /usr/src mkdir x cp -al linux-`uname -r`* x/
before doing the update and after doing the removes to the original locations.
Hopefully SUSE's struggling for a "smooth" kernel update (without loss of the running kernel modules) will bring fruit in time. We are lacking this "system feature" far too long already.
No need to jump through those crazy hoops, you can just tell zypper to keep the last kernel around, that feature has been present for quite some time now.
Surely, but to land "positive" within the communitxy with this, YaST2 should have this capability too. SUSE has promoted YaST for years (more than 10), and finally now it seems to have gained acceptance even "outside", so please continue to let it be the best tool for system maintenance..
