Do you this in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf?
multiversion = provides:multiversion(kernel)
This is commented out by default, I tested on a vanilla 12.1 M2 installation (latest Factory NET iso)
That's hardly the only dumb distro or upstream default.
Well this one kills kittens :) I'll report to the zypper guys.
*sigh*
It is disabled because otherwise your harddisk will fill up overtime uncontrollably.
There now is work on zypp to allow automatic deinstallation of older kernels when this option is enabled as far as I know.
Ciao, Marcus
I really hope not so. especially under factory, it's good to have a previous kernel. And how will the dev's knows better than the admin of one computer what should be installed ? How many computers kernel upgrade have failed for any reasons with a new kernel. It's so easy to have a previous working kernel, the fail, ok just a reboot on the old one and you're back online. (we don't have anymore a rescue that works ...) If a "end" user setup enable and let its boot partition or / fillup well he don't know how to manage his computer. We can't do something for him, neither we can't stop him to use it to kill bugs on the window, or use it as a skateboard ... -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Ambassador GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
