So, my question is why is it listed? In YaST/Software Management, it's the only 32bit kernel listed. The other kernels like ppc64, ps3 aren't listed in Software Management.
$ zypper search -s kernel |grep pae | kernel-pae | package | 2.6.31.5-0.1.1 | i586 | openSUSE-11.2-Oss | kernel-pae-base | package | 2.6.31.5-0.1.1 | i586 | openSUSE-11.2-Oss | kernel-pae-devel | package | 2.6.31.5-0.1.1 | i586 | openSUSE-11.2-Oss It's because x86_64 is biarch and can have 32-bit binaries installed on it. The kernel is special in that it won't result in a working system. It could be a packaging bug, though. Michal - Is there a way to mark the 32-bit kernel incompatible with x86_64? That would kill off that class of bugs we see occasionally where a 32-bit kernel is accidentally installed on a 64-bit system. -Jeff -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
