4.11 Kernel Won't Boot

[J. D]

It updated in Yast to 4.11 today but when I boot it just shows 4.10.1.1

I can see 4.11 in Yast as installed but -a name or -r name just shows 4.10.1.1

Hi there, please make sure that the correct entry is being booted at the
GRUB boot screen. If that doesn't help, then please file a bug report
with openSUSE, as the kernel and underlying system are completely out of
the realm of GeckoLinux.

I just went into advanced options which showed default as 4.11 then rebooted again and 4.11 showed up as default kind of weird but its working now thanks

I had to reinstall because of a bad hard drive and ran into the same thing but this time it didn't resolve itself.  However if anyone runs into this the fix is to activate the graphical user console under Yast/Boot Loader/Kernel Parameters and the new kernel comes up under the advanced boot options.  

Yast is such a powerful tool coming from several other distros - it's just amazing.

@J.D.

Thanks for this post . . . the issue is still going on in Gecko Rolling for a couple of weeks I was seeing updates/upgrades to kernels 4.14, but on boot it would still show "default 4.10" . . . following your suggestions here "fixed" the problem; still have yet to try a simple boot w/o using "advanced options" to see if it now "defaults" to the newest kernel . . .??? 

It would be nice if Gecko/SUSE had the "autoremove" command to remove old kernels, rather than having them remain, and seemingly the "oldest" kernel is the "default" option???  That seems to be what was happening, as I have 4.14.12, 4.14.9, and 4.10.1-1 . . . and even after the 4.14 install today it was selecting 4.10 . . . .

Hi, there are quite a few zypp options for how it manages kernel versions:
