I noticed that 11.2 repo yesterday and tried it, and there were other problems with that based around the preload and kernel-kmp-preload packages which ended up preventing regular kernel-default from installing, or anything else that must have the same version number. which causes a few different problems. I didn't say anything yet because no one said that repo was actually intended for use yet, and, one thing at a time you know.
I fixed this in the morning so everything should be OK by now, right?

It wants to downgrade kernel-firmware Everything else looks ok. Actually it looks like it's just a change in the package version string formatting that makes it say "downgrade". │ │Name │ │Version │Repository │ │ │kernel-firmware│ │20090821-4.1│openSUSE_11.2-FTP│ │ │kernel-firmware│ x │2.6.38-1.1 │kotd_1 │ │ i │kernel-firmware│ │20101214-1.1│@System │ I'm guessing this is fine and that there is no problem. I can't really try it until later tonight. On a couple other 11.2 boxes there was no issue at all at install-time, although when trying to reboot into that kernel it failed to bring up the software raid array.

Now that it fails to boot it will take me some time to recover since the box is remote and I'm doing everything via serial console and pxe booting the installer from a neighboring machine for recovery situations like this. 11.3 using the /standard repo looks ok. It installs 2.6.38.5-1.1 from that repo with no problems (AND boots/runs fine!) -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
