kernel-default-2.6.27.7-9.1

As you can see, you have updated only kernel-default-base package
that includes minimal files and modules for booting.
Updating in addition to both kernel-default and kernel-default-extra packages
will solve this prpblem.

However, the situation now has become very troubling.
With kernel-default-base, in other words, without kernel-default,
you might not use network because kernel-default-base package includes only few drivers for NIC,
and therefore you might not use zypper command.
So you have to import kernel-default and kernel-default-extra packages
to your system without using network.

Hello ken_yap,

Thanks for the tip. How do I "revert"?

Also, I understand from your suggestion that I need to remove all those "build-service" repos, right?

Thanks for your expertise!

Go to YaST and search for iptables, then choose the last version from the OSS repo.

Maybe it might be better if you disabled all the non-core repos first.

Hello ken_yap and everyone!

Thanks for your time and patience with my question.

I successfully repaired my system. I found it easier (although a little longer) to just "upgrade" my openSuse. I ran the same installation disk for the purpose, and it did the job. I had to some minor settings after that, but, it was shorter than a fresh install.

I could not connect to the net (no NW manager, due to the problem). However, I removed all the "buildservice" repos, that I reckon are bleeding edge.

Thanks once again for your time!

Cheers
