Yes. I think that was the one that had license issues so we could not include it in our distro? Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-security+help@opensuse.org
Are there any issues with this kernel upgrade? On one machine (laptop) resume after a suspend-to-disk does not work anymore. On another system grub does not display the boot menu anymore. Hmmpf!

There shouldn't be.

Not heard that one yet, no.

The perl-Bootloader had a fix but it should have been installed before. cIao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-security+help@opensuse.org

In my case (two mail servers) the machines could not reboot any more after installing that update. The menu.lst entry for the root device was cut after a "#". Maybe one script "thougth" it was a comment. Example: root=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SAreca_ARC-1210-VOL#000000000083264759-part3 became root=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SAreca_ARC-1210-VOL Easy to repair, but not good. BTW: Why there is no fallback entry in menu.lst for the last working kernel? I believe I asked for this feature a long time ago. It's that simple... And why not at least a copy of the last working menu.lst itself for reference?

I guess the parse/rewrite code does not expect # in a name (but as comment delimiter). Did you create this volume identifier? I cced you on the bugreport for this I just did.

The last set of kernels can be left installed by editing /etc/zypp/zypp.conf (assuming kernel-default is used): multiversion = kernel-default,kernel-default-base,kernel-default-extra Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-security+help@opensuse.org

No, I didn't. These machines were updated from 10.2 to 11.1 - the old entry was /dev/sda3 there.

OK, thanks

It might have hidden pitfalls and bugs. ;) e.g. it leaves _all_ previous kernels installed currently. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-security+help@opensuse.org

I know... it is a problem for me, as I have a separate /boot partition with limited space. I have to remember it before updating. I wonder... does zypper a calculation of needed space before downloading and installing? Does it fail gracefully, allowing one to make more space and hit "retry" before aborting? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

It will report an error you will see and not install the RPM. But I guess just during installation of the RPM. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-security+help@opensuse.org

Package mkinitrd was removed from this other system. I don't think *I* removed it. Although /sbin/mkinitrd is not found the RPM update procedure did not display an error at the end (to best of my knowledge). I tried to boot from the installation media and started the repair routine. But even this doesn't work. :-( Ciao, Michael.

Now this should not happen, since mkinitrd is required by kernel-<flavour>-base

Just to add that on 1 of 3 boxes (a laptop) here I have the same problem - it resumes after suspend but reports a failure (and screen is unlocked). I had this problem when initially setting up suspend, so I suspect that a config file has been overwritten ... now just got to find it ...
