Thanks for the info. Although I am sure now that it will work with newer kernels, I'll wait for the mkinitrd package to appear in factory and for a new kernel and will keep on testing. I'll keep you posted.
Hello, sorry for the delay but I wanted to wait until a new kernel is released in factory. I tested the purge-kernels script on four different 12.1 Beta 1 (I don't know if they are really Beta 1 already but at least the systems are telling me that they are) installations: KDE, Gnome, XFCE and LXDE. Right now the script doesn't work at all. Here is what happened and what I did on all four systems. - installed new kernel 3.1 RC7 with zypper - checked that /boot/do_purge_kernels is present and it was - rebooted - nothing gets removed, older kernels still present, including source and devel packages The problem is, that with systemd I don't get any information during the boot process and I did not find anything in the log files. So I just recreated /boot/do_purge_kernels manually and booted again. Nothing happened. I did a "systemctl status purge-kernels.service" and received the follwing: "purge-kernels.service - LSB: Purge old kernels Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/purge-kernels) Active: failed since Thu, 29 Sep 2011 22:50:49 + 0200; 2min 30s ago Process: 782 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/purge-kernels start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) OGroup: name=systemd:/system/purge-kernels.service" After that I executed "purge-kernels" in a terminal window and got this message: "error: failed dependencies: kernel-devel = 2.6.37.6-0.7 is needed by (installed) kernel-xen-devel-2.6.37.6-0.7.1.i586 /sbin/purge-kernels giving up" Then I booted two of these four installations again using init=/bin/init and did the same again with the same results. Should I file a bug report? Regards, Andreas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
