This is roughly 95% of a 20,000 line tail from a 11.4 /var/log/YaST2/perl-BL-standalone-log, the portion created by today's zypper rm one kernel followed by zypper in one kernel. It's 1783595 bytes. That seems outlandishly large. The whole file dates back to 11.0, since this has been a Factory installation only upgraded in all that time. It's total size is 33403K. Notwithstanding that it would be a fraction of that size if ever 11.4 had been installed fresh, nevertheless it looks from my perusal and seeing references to an abundance of noauto NFS fstab entries like PBL is doing some unnecessary things, and why it seems to take an awfully long time to install a new kernel.
Maybe by default perl-Bootloader should be a bit less verbose. Even if this is annoying I consider this less a bug than a feature request and therefore suggest to file it at https://features.opensuse.org/ Josef Reidinger <jreidinger at novell dot com> is the maintainer (osc maintainer -e Base:System perl-Bootloader).
