I just updated to 3.4.3-1-1 from 3.1.10-1.13 using the kernel repo on YaST. I got three warnings. I also had to delete hdjmod-kmp-desktop and virtual desktop which were conflicts while installing 3.4.
WARNING: no dependency for kernel module “thermal” not found
WARNING: no dependency for kernel module “processor” not found
WARNING: no dependency for kernel module “fan” not found
Is it safe for me to reboot?
Forgot to add I’m using a Lenovo U460 with openSUSE 12.1
Have a look in /var/log/zypp/history
Go to the end of the log and look for the entry like this:

Do you see thermal
Thermal is present in the log for today.

Go ahead, reboot
Hang on
I thought you upgraded to 3.4.3-1-1
That output you show is not for that kernel
But you should be fine
You can easily roll back,
uname -r
3.4.3-1-desktop
I posted the wrong log at first and did an edit sorry.
Just rebooted and all seems to be working. Were those warnings just an error on YaST part?

I guess - yes

Those warnings come from the ‘make install’ step of the kernel, specifically
when the initial ram disk is built. The prescription for initrd calls for
certain modules to be present, but the one listed are not available for that
kernel. They might be built in and thus are not available as modules, or they
might not be in the configuration. As long as none of them are in the second
category and refer to disk drivers or other critical functions such as file
systems, then it is safe to reboot. Missing modules “thermal”, “processor”, and
“fan” might cause the CPU to overheat, but they will certainly not prevent booting.
