RE: [SLE] Novell kit 9.1 running 2.4 not 2.6??
I notice that you loaded 9.1 "onto the swap slice on my basic e-Machines desktop (where I'm happily running 9.0 Pro) " What kernel version is your 9.0 install at?

Hi, all --
The biggest reason I was eagerly looking forward to 9.1 was because I thought that it ran 2.6, and it's not a small challenge to bring a 9.0 system up from 2.4. Lo and behold, though, it's running 2.4.21-231 (or close)!!
Does 9.1 run 2.6 after all, and, if so, how do I do so?
TIA & HAND

It's 2.4. Oh, wait ... Hey, it's 2.4.21-238! OK, now I am very confused. I have lilo in my SuSE 9.0 hda2 root with an entry for 'suse91' pointing to hda1.
