Here is a workout. THESE ARE THE STEPS TO CLEAN UP ALL THOSE UNWANTED ���PREEMPTS���: In Yast, you first UNINSTALL virtualbox-kmp-preempt AND kernel-preempt AND kernel-preempt-devel (with this last one, you choose the third alternative: ���keep kernel-syms with broken capacities���) THEN YOU REBOOT Then, in Yast again, you put a TABU option (with right mouse) on these three: virtualbox-kmp-preempt AND kernel-preempt AND kernel-preempt-devel ; that way these three won't bother you anymore, never: they're "tabu" now. THEN YOU REBOOT AGAIN Then, in Yast again, you UPDATE kernel-syms (with this, you choose the third alternative option: ���keep kernel-syms with broken capacities���) Don't bother about those ���broken capacities���: they refer to the unwanted preempts. THEN YOU REBOOT AGAIN And now your computer works fine, your kernel-default updates will not prompt you anymore to install those damned ���preempts���, and your VirtualBox (or what it was that pulled in those ���preempts���) works like a charm. The first reboot is needed so that you can put the ���tabu��� option on the three ���preempts���; the second reboot is needed so that the three tabus are fixed and so that you can update your kernel-syms with the right version; the third reboot is needed to finalize all the steps you've taken and to clean up your computer for good. Have a nice day! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
