Kernel up-grade.

Hi,

OpenSuSE Team already reacted to upgrade the new found vulnerability (the null pointer dereference … ) but …

I downloaded all kernel modules for this upgrade, and made:

rpm -ivh  kernel-default-2.6.27.29-0.1.1.x86_64.rpm 
kernel-default-base-2.6.27.29-0.1.1.x86_64.rpm 
kernel-default-extra-2.6.27.29-0.1.1.x86_64.rpm 
kernel-source-2.6.27.29-0.1.1.x86_64.rpm 
kernel-syms-2.6.27.29-0.1.1.x86_64.rpm 
kernel-xen-2.6.27.29-0.1.1.x86_64.rpm 
kernel-xen-base-2.6.27.29-0.1.1.x86_64.rpm 
kernel-xen-extra-2.6.27.29-0.1.1.x86_64.rpm

but I get the error :


Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
        file /usr/lib/rpm/kernel-module-subpackage from install of kernel-source-2.6.27.29-0.1.1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package kernel-source-2.6.27.25-0.1.1.x86_64

Has anyone installed the upgrade manually got this same problem?

Regards,
Pedro

I got the update notification just now. Going to upgrade now.

Hi
You need to use the U option to upgrade eg rpm -Uhv

Hi,

I know.
But in previous upgrades (the ones I did not mess it up) I used to also install the new kernel Maintaining the old one.
Hence the -i option.

It used to work with no problem in the previous kernels …

And for a matter of caution I would like to keep first the previous kernel …
