I'd say you also have to watch out with the modules. I am not 100% sure of this, but if you have compiled your own kernel and install a new one from rpm, without re-compiling, it will not find the deps for the modules and it might not boot. Some one more proficient than me in kernels...am I right? Sergio A las 02:24 del 11 de Oct de 2003, js dijo:

I need the 2.4.21 kernel for a scanner I have. Can I just grab the rpm and install it with Yast as any other rpm? Epson cx3200 combo with SuSE-8.2.

Thanks. Steve.

Normally yes but sometimes the scripts don't update mkinitrc or the boot loader. You may have to do those manually if your computer doesn't restart normally. Or you can check to see it was done first by checking the /boot directory.
