Since four version of kernels I run it in zypp.conf with "multiversion=provides:multiversion(kernel). That gives me a full functioning kernel with updates which will have a look at all kernels. At this moment I have for kernels from which to choose and I think it is time to delete some of them. How could I do that with zypper?
rpm -qf --last /boot/vmlinux-* or rpm -qa --last kernel-\* This reports the installed kernel packages. You next remove the superfluous packages by calling zypper rm kernel-default-2.6.34-13.1 kernel-default-base-2.6.34-13.1 for example. It's a missing feature to handle multiple kernels "correctly". Which kernels are no longer needed or which are needed? The last working one should always be kept to have a fall back. There is^ware also open feature request for this feature. Vote now! 309205: Remove old kernel package only after the new one successfully bootededit 309360: Bootloader cleanup idea 308936: Install defaults to Allow_Kernel_Updates=NO 306971: keep the previous kernel after update process I'm sure we filed a more or better explaining feature request. But due to my limited skills I'm not able to find it on the feature cemetery. :/ Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
