Due to some bad interaction of the patch with the 8.0 kernel we had to build and test it again. Give us three days to deliver a stable kernel with all known security bugs fixed.

BTW: what happened to the k_deflt-2.4.18-282 kernel (of Dec 17 2003)? On the update server there's only the older k_deflt-2.4.18-281 now; were there any problems with the -282 version, too, or was it just accidentally removed? Bye, Martin

I was unable to find the 282 kernel releases and they were not deleted due to our hardware failures. Where and when did you saw them?

Hi Volker,

I have the rsync listing of planetmirror.com for the SuSE 8.0 update dir, as of 2004-01-25. They clearly show the -282 packages. I would like to think that the only way for these packages to appear there is by way of SuSE supplying them :))

--> These are the packages from the last kernel update (see SuSE-SA:2004:001). They contain the kernel you should be running since January 5 of this year.

I am not familiar with all our rsync, mirroring, replacing, moving deleting of packages policies but we have a new 8.0 kernel out since yesterday. It includes patches for every known security issue.
