Hi, I just tried zypper in kernel-pa* kernel-s* in order to obtain the latest kernel-pae and kernel-source and syms packages from factory and zypper wanted to install kernel-source-rt and kernel-syms-rt. What is the effect, are these preconfigured real time kernel source and sym packages

Yes.

...

and would make cloneconfig simply turn them into normal sources?

No, they would be installed on your machine.

...

Are they safe to use for nvidia run packages?

No way in hell. All kernel modules need to be rebuilt specially to use the -rt kernels.

If you don't really know what the -rt kernels do, you really don't want to be messing around with them, overall they will slow your machine down, and probably make funny faces at your cat, annoying it to no end.

good luck,

Thanks for the info, I think I should file a bug report. Regards Dave P Actually its not a bug, I'll just have to reword zypper in kernel-s* to kernel-s*-2*.

Or zypper up \*kernel*

I've filed bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444104 to try and get it renamed kernel-rt-source instead of kernel-source-rt votes appreciated.
