Hi, I just tried zypper in kernel-pa* kernel-s* in order to obtain the
latest kernel-pae and kernel-source and syms packages from factory and
zypper wanted to install kernel-source-rt and kernel-syms-rt. What is
the effect, are these preconfigured real time kernel source and sym
packages


Yes.



and would make cloneconfig simply turn them into normal sources?


No, they would be installed on your machine.



Are they safe to use for nvidia run packages?


No way in hell. All kernel modules need to be rebuilt specially to use
the -rt kernels.

If you don't really know what the -rt kernels do, you really don't want
to be messing around with them, overall they will slow your machine
down, and probably make funny faces at your cat, annoying it to no end.

good luck,

Thanks for the info, I think I should file a bug report.

Actually its not a bug, I'll just have to reword zypper in kernel-s* to
kernel-s*-2*.


Or zypper up \*kernel*

I've filed bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444104 to try
and get it renamed kernel-rt-source instead of kernel-source-rt votes
appreciated.
