[opensuse] Re: Yast Update
It seems that I'm booting using the xen kernel: :~> uname -a Linux myhome 2.6.18.8-0.3-xen #1 SMP Tue Apr 17 08:42:35 UTC 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux How do I change this to boot from the correct or previous kernel? Thanks, Jerome

I ran Yast Update today and rebooted. Now I get these error messages:

Everything worked fine before this update. What can I do to correct this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You should be able to select it at boot time. You can also practice by using the 'grubonce' command: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/archives/000862.html#000862 -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ UNIX is user-friendly.

Is that kernel OK? What does rpm -V kernel-default-2.6.18.8-0.3 tell you?
Shouldn't the kernel-headers and document number be the same as the kernel-source number? Not necessary. If true, they weren't updated by the update.
Because it isn't. They did not need to be updated. I either read that here or the security list.
How do I update the linux-kernel-headers-2.6.18.2-3? Do they need to be updated?
They are not the problem and they are ok as is.
How do I get the system to use the default kernel?
If booting from GRUB with that option doesn't work, make sure that kernel is still there in /lib/modules, and check (via above command) if rpm sees a problem with the installed files. It should work if those all check out. To make it default, you can either change the default in /boot/grub/menu.lst to 1, or use Yast2, System, Bootloader module and set it as the default.
ps I don't know if this matters but three files in /boot/ have 'Unknown' File Type: backup_mbr, @vmlinux and vmlinux-2.6.18.8-0.3-default
