I build a package with a kernel driver for SLES11 on obs, but the problem is that I did not discover how to add the update repository for SLES11.

So the package that I build for SLES11 it's quiet unusable, because it's for a kernel release different from the updated kernel.

If that is the case, there was an incompatible update, which would violate the SLE policy.

Can you prove that this is the case ?

The way I read the OP was that whilst the build service provides the default kernel (as shipped with SLE), there is no SLE/update repository, therefore any kernel modules built don't match their running kernel except during a default install.

If you build a Kernel module package (KMP) in the build service, it should work for all kernels released during a single SLES service pack. The version differences in module file locations (e.g. /lib/modules/2.6.blah-blah) are handled during package installation. See ftp://sdk.provo.novell.com/ndk/kmpm/ for instructions for SLES9, SLES10, and SLES11.

Thanks, Peter
