This update can be used to install a new kernel. If you decide to use the kernel update, we recommend that you reboot your system upon completion of the YaST Online Update, as additional kernel modules may be needed which can only be loaded after the system is rebooted. If you are in the course of performing a new installation, the installer will reboot the machine after installing the patch. If you do not want to reboot, deselect this patch.
