I'm getting this info with fou4s -e:

============== Update Information for kernel-51206 (2003-12-19) 
===============
Kernel optimized for AMD Athlon processors
Paul Starzetz of iSEC reported a vulnerability in the mremap system call,
which allows local attackers to crash the machine, and even to obtain
super user privileges under some circumstances.  This update fixes the
vulnerability.
==========================================================================
=====
k_athlon                 2.4.21-168    (2.4.19-66    ) [dl] security    
21881kb
k_deflt                  2.4.21-168    (2.4.19-340   ) [dl] security    
21659kb

The reason is that this image was carried over from Athlon machines and 
then a generic kernel applied (this is a Celeron machine). Later I applied 
the "correct" Suse kernel k_deflt. There was no way to "uninstall" the 
Athlon kernel. Can I get rid of the package information for it? I read a 
bit thru man rpm but couldn't find anything about that.

I'm also wondering, if I shouldn't get the "this package won't be 
installed, use interactive mode" message or is this only coming with "-i" 
?
