Startup GUI -Two Kernels?- Quick Question

English Install/Boot/Login

Hi everyone!

I did some updates yesterday, i turned off my PC, everything fine, when i turn on my laptop this morning this are the options i get on the startup options screen (the first 3 of them are the regular, but now there are two more:

1- OpenSUSE 11.0 - 2.6.25.16-0.1 (default)

2- Failsafe – OpenSUSE 11.0 - 2.6.25.16-0.1 (default)

3- Xen – OpenSUSE 11.0 - 2.6.25.16-0.1

4- OpenSUSE 11.0 - 2.6.25.16-0.1

5- Failsafe – OpenSUSE 11.0 - 2.6.25.16-0.1 (pae)

What’s the difference between options 1 and 4? and 2 and 5?

thanks for the help!

Hi
The pae kernel is for accessing physical ram > 4GB on 32bit arch. Do
you have a lot of RAM in your machine, if not I would suggest just
using the default and deleting the pae one via YaST.

Physical
Address Extension

Having the different kernels may upset any modules you have compiled
against either kernel as well.
