Dear my friends... I installed a wrong win4lin enabled kernel. But I can not remove the kernel. If I see with KPackage, I found the two version kernel installed with the same name. I could not removed them with YaST, it's locked. I did like this : " susefujitsu:/installer # ls . .. Kernel-Win4Lin3-NeTraverse1.0_2.6.4-02.i686.rpm susefujitsu:/installer # rpm -e Kernel-Win4Lin3 error: "Kernel-Win4Lin3" specifies multiple packages " If I installed the Win4Lin kernel like this this below, it's failed: " susefujitsu:/installer # rpm -iv ./Kernel-Win4Lin3-NeTraverse1.0_2.6.4-02.i686.rpm Preparing packages for installation... package Kernel-Win4Lin3-NeTraverse1.0_2.6.4-02 is already installed file /boot/System.map.win4lin from install of Kernel-Win4Lin3-NeTraverse1.0_2.6.4-02 conflicts with file from package Kernel-Win4Lin3-NeTraverse1.0_2.6.4-01 file /boot/win4lin from install of Kernel-Win4Lin3-NeTraverse1.0_2.6.4-02 conflicts with file from package Kernel-Win4Lin3-NeTraverse1.0_2.6.4-01 susefujitsu:/installer # " If I installed like this below, also does not succeed : " susefujitsu:/installer # rpm -iv --nodeps --force ./Kernel-Win4Lin3-NeTraverse1.0_2.6.4-02.i686.rpm Preparing packages for installation...

I don't know if you fixed this by now, but if not, try this: You need to specify more exactly which of the Kernel-Win4Lin3 packages to remove. You do that by adding more of the package name to it, until it is enough for rpm -e to identify it. Example: try rpm -e Kernel-Win4Lin3-NeTraverse1.0_2.6.4-02 or rpm -e Kernel-Win4Lin3-NeTraverse1.0_2.6.4-01 I had a similar problem some time ago, and this approach worked there. HTH, Matt PS. Did you get win4lin on SuSE 9.1 to run properly? Any shortcomings because of using a "general" kernel?

For squirrelly RPMs that do not want to be erased with YaST, I have found that this works: rpm -e packagename --noscripts rpm --rebuilddb To what circumstances this can be applied, I do not know, but I had an RPM of dict-web1913 that installed with errors and then did not want to go away. This did away with it.
