: Usually KMPs do not need to be updated alongside with the kernel, and will work with older ones.
The preload-kmp is an exception, as it is basically just a systemtap hook kmp and must be rebuild with every kernel.
And of course one important question then is: "why is it not built alongside the kernel but instead as an KMP?"
Because not everyone wants/needs it, so it will not be part of the "main" kernel package.
(The best thing to do is actually "zypper rm '*preload*'" that fixes all those problems instantly).
See, you don't want it, so if you had it in the kernel package, it would be harder to get rid of :)
We don't want it because it always manages to breaks updates. -- Ismail Dönmez - openSUSE Booster SUSE LINUX Products GmbH Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
