[opensuse] Is it possible to install 10.2 Kernel on SusE 10.3
There is some critical software, Apani VPN, that I need, but will not build on using the SusE 10.3 kernel. Apani software did build using 10.2 kernel. Apani will not have a solution for a while, so I was wondering if I could install the 10.2 kernel so that I can use the Apani software? What problems will I have installing 10.2 software?

I think a better suited question would be what kernel version is required? And I am guessing you connect to a Nortel Switch.. It sucks doesn't it. Ben -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That's too bad - but FWIW the cisco vpn client was updated recently, and runs perfectly on suse 10.3. Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You will probably end up with a broken system. If you can't use the program in 10.3 at all, switch back to 10.2; openSUSE 10.2 is also a good OS from which many bugs have been already corrected and it will keep being maintained for quite some time.

Yes, but you will not be able to load modules compiled yourself because of the GCC mismatch.

You might be able to run a virtual instance of 10.2 under 10.3... There might be problems with the kernel interfaces where scripts and programs expect a changed behaviour due to subtile changed interfaces of the newer kernel, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform/openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
