If applying the patch is easy, how can I get just that rebuild against my actual 3.0.0-2-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jul 22 08:28:15 UTC 2011 (50c05d7) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux without rebuilding the whole kernel ?
You're gonna need to rebuild the kernel proper, vmlinux. You won't need to rebuild modules. Since the openSUSE kernel is mostly modular, that cuts out a good deal of build time.
'make bzImage' will do it. It'll end up in arch/x86/boot/bzImage. That'll cut the build time down to a few minutes.

Jeff thanks, was easy once what was needed ...
I'm now using it. test several reboot without a glitch
The Dell mailing list thread makes no reference to this patch so just to confirm - is rebooting working on your machine with this patch applied without using noapic or reboot= on the command line? If that is the case, I'll put a Tested-and-reported-by: Bruno Friedmann <bruno@ioda-net.ch> on the patch and push it upstream. I confess I don't know what the etiquette of pushing patches into the openSUSE kernel tree is. This is not going to get this into 2.6.37-stable where it would be automatically picked up. I can push the patch to the openSUSE tree myself but is there a community kernel maintainer that it should be going through instead? -- Mel Gorman SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
