Confirm this for yourself.
In recent messages it has been indicated that there is a problem with the kernel which was upgraded in the past (?)few days when zypper goes to upgrade 11.0 Beta3.
Not so as far as I am concerned.
The problem lies somewhere else.
And this is what I am asking you to be aware of and to confirm.
A short while ago I re-installed 11.0 Beta3 after trying a suggestion to fix the non-boot problem of 11.0 Beta3 after the recent upgrades by doing, amongst things, "rm /.buildenv and calling mkinitrd".
Other suggestions also failed, so I decided to re-install 11.0 Beta3 from the DVD, but after installing it I wasn't going to allow zypper or smart to upgrade the kernel to 2.6.25.4-2 which is claimed to be the the cause of all the problems.
Well, it's not the kernel ...25.4-2.
Something else in the Factory to upgrade 11.0 Beta3 is causing the big-time problem.
If you install 11.0 Beta3 to test it then do not allow it to be upgraded by zypper.
(Just for the record, the version I have installed - and before the latest upgrades it was working fine - is the 32-bit version and I was using KDE4 to see what it looked liked.)
Ciao.
I'm trying to get a bug which seems to come from the factory repo fixed. It causes zypper to do strange things (look at bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=393531 ) and I have referenced two other bugs there. The worst thing about this bug, is that it can leave your system in a mess and it only happens at certain times. Maybe this is what is happening. The bug was there for a day and once again it disappeared. Read the bug it's interesting reading.
