The ETR was closed and has fallen off my radar, but the gist of the response was "make /boot bigger". They did say that they'd forward to Novell the fact that maintenance can fail without any error indication, but as the ETR was closed, we'll never know if this is addressed down the road... -- Robert P.

If you haven't done so, I encourage you to open a bugzilla or report it to your Linux support provider.
