[opensuse] Bug: kernel-default-2.6.22.16-0.1 with RAID using /dev/mapper/

The YOU kernel failed to install on my box using software raid. Apparently the new kernel install does not handle /dev/mapper correctly. Be very careful with this update. When it failed it had already re-linked vmlinuz and initrd and rendered the system unbootable before this error was encountered. So anyone doing remote site updates be VERY VERY wary of this Kernel. If it was me, I'd disable any automatic YOU updates you have scheduled until this and the wireless problem are addressed. This is the first failed kernel update I have seen since 8.0?
