[opensuse] Where have kernel updates gone?
Hi all, It happened the second time, and I do not know what's going on. Today my oS 13.2 (64 bit) apparently downloaded and installed kernel desktop 3.16.7-24. Upon rebooting I still see 3.16.7-7. uname -a also gives that. So where has the update gone?

Usually into /boot :-) I guess your boot-loader wasn't updated, for whatever reason. You can just update it manually. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (18.1°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

There is a variable in /etc/sysconfig/boot or /etc/sysconfig/bootloader in 13.2 (I can't check now, I'm running 13.1) that defines the bootloader, grub 1 or 2 or whatever. If it is empty, the kernel line is not updated. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Perhaps you mean this part ???

I have no idea why that wrapped...

LOADER_TYPE="grub2"
Yes, that one. Funny, I have it, I don't know why I could not find it :-? /etc/sysconfig/bootloader:LOADER_TYPE="grub" If it is empty, on kernel update grub is not informed of the change. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

My settings are grub2-efi, and secure boot is also enabled. Looking into /boot I can see three sets of files, corresponding to kernels 3.16.7-7, 21 and 24. Only the first boots. Unfortunately I do not know how to tell oS which kernel it should boot. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Generally, the last installed is configured to boot. If that didn't happen, then on reboot, at the grub2 screen (presuming that is what you have), choose "Advanced Options" which should then list all 3 kernels that grub2 know about allowing you to choose which one to boot. *Note:*, you must choose "Advanced Options" before the 5 second timeout automatically boots the configured kernel. I have grub2 (non-efi) and that is the way it has always worked. -- David C.

The problem is -- and it did not occur to me until now --, that the screen offering "Advanced Options" is missing. I remember it used to be there, but at an undefined time in the past it has gone. Some boot options, perhaps? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Maybe... there is an option for no menu, I think. You should check in YaST. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

Thanks for the hint, but the solution was a bit trickier. In my case the "no menu" option was and is unchecked, still, there is no menu. But... After right clicking on the table, I have the exit menu with the restart option. The downward arrow has an option "bootable snapshot" which itself also has a downward arrow, and that contains the items what the menu's advanced options was expected to contain.

Could you show output of "grub2-editenv - list"? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
