RE: RE: [suse-security] SuSE Security Announcement: kernel (SuSE-SA:2001:036)

To date, you must do it manually as explained in Roman's detailed post. Went flawlessly for me. -- __________________________________________ J.Andersen
Kernel updates are not allowed through online update, you have to download
and install them manually.

Speaking of the updates, why are the updates always made using the 64GB model when perhaps less than 10% of you users have more then 4GB of ram if even that amount? -- Ken Schneider Senior UNIX Administrator Network Administrator kschneider@rtsx.com

It doesn't buy you much if you change this configuration option. And, as
you say, if there's 10% of the users who want it, we need to enable it.
It's the same story as with the apm stuff... Having it enabled reduces the
workload caused by testing.
Thanks,
Roman.

the acenic driver (ver. 0.83) does not work with highmem enabled. This is a known problem. It is to be expected, that more machines exist that use tigon based GB ethernetcards than machines with more than 4GB ram without these cards. So either highmem enabled kernels should ship with an older version of the driver, or highmem should not be enabled (the 2.4.22 kernels you mentioned under /pub/people/mantel do not work with highmem enabled and tigon cards, probably that has been taken care of allready). After all, a machine with more ram will work even with highmem disabled, but some machines will not work with highmem enabled (or at least the network will not work). mike
