I all. I've noticed that after doing a zypper dup on Tumbleweed, if a rebuild of initrd is triggered by the update, it is rebuilding initrd for multiple superseded kernel versions that are no longer installed.

[I'm usually rebuilding the kernel after a kernel update because I have a module that I need that is not yet included in the mainline kernel tree (I have no idea of the status of that).]

this is probably the reason... When you remove any distribution/update supplied kernel, do you also remove the out-of-line kernel's module of your own? Take a look at /lib/modules and get rid of all directories for which you don't have a kernel anymore. HTH, cheers. l8er manfred
