Not sure why you need to reboot twice - you'd apply a kernel update online in a non-transactional way (we have working ways of "rolling" back to the old kernel). So the reboot updates the kernel, from the initrd you apply the update and simply continue booting?
Some services may be taken over from initrd. In this case initrd had been generated using old versions and they will continue to be used even if you update root to new version until next reboot. This may lead to rather hard to debug issues because everything after boot will indicate you have new versions installed.
Well, apply the update from init (systemd) then before it spawns anything else. init can reload itself.
And afterwards you have to reboot to activate the new kernel and initrd ...
Nah. updates that affect kernel or initrd will simply be applied in the running system (and initrd rebuild). The nature of them is such that they can't possibly affect anything in the running system. No need for two reboots. Ciao, Michael. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
