    hi

    #> cat /etc/issue

       Welcome to SuSE Linux 9.2 (i586) - Kernel \r (\l).

    #> uname -a
       Linux miraculix 2.6.8-24-default #1 Wed Oct 6 09:16:23 UTC 2004 i686
    athlon i386 GNU/Linux

    as i sad. the update seems to work properly. when i do an online_update
    then it requests the old kernel update (2.6.5) for suse 9.1 :(
