Slowroll not purging old kernels Is something broken with do_purge_kernels - it is present in /boot
My grub list does show Slo Roll as "Slow Roll" . . . but I also am having problems with the kernels booting to now black screen, rather than previously the 6.5.9-3 kernel was booting to TTY ER mode. Got some advice from the forum that the "6.5.9-3 kernel does not exist" but when I run "uname -r" it shows that it does . . . . In my grub "advanced options" for Slo Roll I also show approx. 8 kernel options, but they all show as "slow roll /dev/sdb8" (something like that) . . . only the 4th line from the top boots to GUI . . . all the rest boot to black screen, no option to get to TTY in the blackness. From the single option that got me to GUI I ran what is possibly the latest zypper dup . . . had something like 148 or 198 packages to upgrades and downgrade . . . AND other problem with this Slo Roll kernel is that it doesn't revive from suspend. So far it seems liek Slo Roll is a "WIP" . . . not quite ready for primetime use. : - 0
I might have to amend my previous statement . . . or revise it . . . . Seems like from the upgrades that went through yesterday the kernel has been returned to [CODE]> uname -r 6.5.9-1-default [/CODE] and the Slo Roll system boots from the regular grub listing, no need for the 4th line from the top in "advanced options" . . . . Looks like there are some more upgrades showing as available . . . finger's crossed on how that will pan out. For now Slo Roll boots normally . . . have to see if any evidence of "9-3" is still hanging around . . . ??? But it is now possibly that Slo Roll is "ready for primetime" but just not getting top billing and/or a percentage of the profits . . . . : - )

Ciao Bernhard M.
Bernhard M: Thanks for the reply . . . for now Slo Roll is more operational than it was, the problem is that it seems like problems from other options like TW and Leap, in my case the "non-revival from suspend" problem are moving around to new venues like Slo Roll, rather than being "fixed" upstream when encountered on the former venues, etc. That is frustrating to keep hitting the same problems in quick succession. The other issue was the non-login to GUI problem that seemed to be "going around" . . . hitting each of my SUSE installs in rotation. Hopes and prayers, as we say in the US . . . . F

For what definition of "work"?

It wanted to backlevel zypper, but I balked and didn't let it. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks! Felix Miata
