I'm about to try that same kernel because I've had s2disk and more
important cd/dvd writing issues with kernel-pae-2.6.27.4-2.1 and am
running the 2.6.27.1 kernel. Anyway to cut a long story short when I
tried zypper in kernel-pa* kernel-s* zypper didn't want to install the
sources for 2.6.27.5 kernel and offered the rt version. I've filed bug
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444051 because trying zypper
in kernel-source kernel-pae won't install them although zypper if says
the packages are out of date. What I'm saying is check the correct
packages have been installed.
