Hi kernel-hackers,
i really appreciate that the kernel was updated to 2.6.37-rc3-git1. However, it does not work well with zypper:

Nothing to do.
probably simply staying at 2.6.37-rc3 and only increasing the build number would have been better?
On a side note: I just found that the kernel releases are a bit strange:
susi:~ # rpm -qi kernel-desktop Name : kernel-desktop Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 2.6.37 Vendor: obs://build.opensuse.org/Kernel Release : rc3.3.1 Build Date: Tue Nov 23 10:23:59 2010 Install Date: Tue Nov 23 22:45:35 2010 Build Host: build11 Group : System/Kernel Source RPM: kernel-desktop-2.6.37-rc3.3.1.nosrc.rpm
shouldn't this be
Version: 2.6.37-rc3 Release: 3.1?
Given, you added your kernel and depending modules as multiversion in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf (if only globbing would work on this), just install the one you like should do the trick: zypper in kernel-desktop-2.6.37-6.1 @kernel hackers: I solve the numbering for pre releases by using e.g.: Release: 0.rc3.<CI_CNT>.<B_CNT> Would that fit for the issue in question, too?
