Kernel update, not seen if wrong at 1st try
Jan 28th 2013, 13:31

Hello ;)

i'm using this kernel :
Code:

uname -r
3.7.3-1-desktop

I use this repo tu update my kernel ( Index of /repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard ), which i gave KERNEL_STABLE as its alias name.

today i zypper dup'ed as follows :

Code:

# zypper dup -r KERNEL_STABLE
it was showing me kernel 3.7.4-1-desktop to be available, i wanted it :)

the result was bad : error 256 mentioning to check device.map for it was not able to find /dev/sda2 (supposedly root (/) )
then a black screen, with GRUB in grey and a blinking prompt ...

I suddenly realised that i added a new ide hard disk a few days before. I formated in in ext4 from yast partionner, which completed the fstab the right way for it.

Question 1 : How come device.map was not updated too ?

Then i reinstalled grub2 thanks to the install doc here https://forums.opensuse.org/content/...vd-rescue.html and pc boot went back to normal but i wanted my kernel update so i went back to it but now zypper is not showing it anymore (nothing to do is the result).
QUestion 2 : Therefore how can i upgrade to kernel 3.7.4-1-desktop ?

Thanks ;)
