Have followed the ongoing discusion with interrest because I have more or less the same problem.

 

I have the following default kernels:

kernel-default-5.3.12-2.2.x86_64 kernel-default-5.4.7-1.1.x86_64 kernel-default-5.3.12-1.1.x86_64 kernel-default-5.4.12-1.1.x86_64 kernel-default-5.4.10-1.1.x86_64 kernel-default-5.4.13-1.1.x86_64 kernel-default-5.4.14-1.1.x86_64

None of the mentioned solutions to clean up my mess works up to now.

"rpm -e kernel-default-5etc.will end with a complaint about the rpm.lock.

it's been years since I had this kind of problem, but I believe by deleting the file rpm.lock will fix it.

I'm sure somebody else can verify this. The zypper purge-kernels seems to work....

"zypper purge-kernels" starts and ends after 5% and does not proceed from there.

 

What would be my next move in order the get the kernel problem to an end.

could I somehow overcome the rpm lock?
