xine-lib 0.99.rc6a-4 conflict
Conflicts with:
libxine1 obsoletes xine-lib
libxine1 obsoletes xine
Conflict Resolution:
( ) Do Not Update xine-lib
( ) Remove All 2 Conflicting Packages
Delete kaffeine
Do Not Install libxine1
I don't understand the first conflict. Can someone explain this?
The other 2...I don't want to remove kaffiene.
Can't kaffiene just use the newer version of libxine1 and xine-lib?
System updates should always be run from a boot-CD of the higher version. Otherwise the old kernel is still in memory and may interfere with the installation (because 'uname -r', which is used in many installation scripts, returns the wrong kernel version).
Originally posted by allelopath # uname -r
2.6.8-24.10-default
what does this mean?
Nothing. Everything is alright. I asked this question to be sure that the new kernel is also residing in memory, not only in rpm-database. Now I really have no clue why the dependency error occurred. What happens if you ignore the warning?

I haven't tried this. What are the potential consequences? Could I end up trashing my system?
Yes you could, but if you have a bootable SUSE CD on hand, you can always restore the previously installed kernel.
getting back to this....
i've downloaded the iso you suggested and burned the image onto a cd
the setup is such that it looks first to the CD drive to boot.
It appears to start booting from the CD, however, i get a menu that says:
Boot from Hard Disk
Installation
Installation - ACPI Disabled
Installation - Safe Settings
Manual Installation
Rescue System
Memorty Test
I don't want any of these, i want Boot from CDROM
What do I do?
Where did you get the system update you tried the first time? Was it YOU? I don't understand why you wouldn't get updates for both the default and nongpl kernel if you were updating thru YOU.
Anyway, you need to delete xine-lib before you install libxine-1. You can ignore any warnings you get about deleting xine-lib. You don't need to delete kaffeine.
As far as using the boot cd, choose installation and then you will get the upgrade option.

The 'Rescue System' gives you a usable system to do the kernel reinstallation. The basic steps would be:
booting
login (empty password)
mounting the root partition
chroot to this mountpoint
reinstall the kernel-rpm (should be available on disk/CD, network will probably not work)
reboot
