Regards,

Thanks for the answer. Upgrading to 15.2 is not possible at the moment for some of my machines. Solution 2 (rebuild rpm from version 15.2 for 15.1) does the trick. As Jiri sayd in his message, this is something unexpected. The kernel should be installable on the distro still supported. But apparently after more than three weeks, the solution has not been found yet. I'll probably wait another couple of weeks. If after that time this kernel problem is still there, I'll upgrade the rpm package.
