Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... Problem: preload-kmp-default-1.2_k2.6.37-2.13.i586 requires ksym(default:current_task) = 48fa29dc, but this requirement cannot be provided deleted providers: kernel-default-2.6.37-16.1.i586 Solution 1: deinstallation of preload-kmp-default-1.2_k2.6.37-2.13.i586 Solution 2: do not install kernel-default-2.6.37-20.1.i586 Solution 3: break preload-kmp-default by ignoring some of its dependencies Additionally, this issue (and other similar ones) can cause systems to not boot by default, because kernel-default-base package will be upgraded by "zypper up", but the associated initrd will not contain ext* drivers to mount the rootfs. One workaround is to manually select the old kernel entry in grub (if you have access to the console). The other workaround is to force upgrade of kernel-default by using solution 1 or 3 above. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
