Michael,
So, I take it that using the SuSE RPM is what you
recommend? I have never loaded a kernel with RPMs,
just with source. Is there detailed instructions that
come with the package? Even the SuSE book covers the
source compilation, not the rpm.
Thanks, Ron

How did you install 2.2.16? I am a new user of 6.4 and was wondering if there was an automatic way of installing 2.2.16? I presume only .rpm files are used but I have tried installing 2.2.16 (with rpm files) and have not gotten very far.
How did you do it?
I just downloaded the source from www.kernel.org. I don't use any of the enhancements in the SuSE kernel, so I didn't need the rpm.
The 'enhancements' are not jsut feature updates, it's also memory management fixes and other stability fixes. Try stock 2.2.16 on a big busy server... (this is where bugs show earlier than on a lightly loaded 128 MB client machine that's rebootet once a week after doing almost nothing)
