OTOH, i'm still a bit scared of only having the KOTD, so is there a method to do "zypper up" and get both kernels, the FACTORY "stable" kernel and the KOTD?
Last time, I complained about this (it was in bugzilla, IIRC), I was told, that this is the intended behavior.
openSUSE's policy is: you have to use a single kernel version, because neither zypper, nor rpmbuilding kernel modules can cope with it. I think, this this is a poor argument, but I'm not getting asked anyway...
Notice, how this is different from distributions managed by yum: that has explicit handling to always _install_ new kernels.
I can imagine a lot of scenarios, where this policy is superior.
The zypp multiversion handling at least allows multiple kernels being installed. See /etc/zypp/zypp.conf So updateing will keep the old (known good) kernels.
