Well, seems you have to recompile a kernel with quota support. I am pretty sure that this list is NOT the right place to ask about help with kernel compilation problems though.
To get you started though, consider these steps:
1. install the kernel sources (you have done that) 2. cd /usr/src/linux 3. su - 4. make config (i.e. make menuconfig, make xconfig) 5. go through all the options and select what you need (help is there) 6. make dep; make bzlilo; make modules; make modules_install 7. check /etc/lilo.conf to make usre you can access and boot your old kernel in case you messed up the new one 8. reboot and see if the new kernel works as expected
Make sure you compile things that are needed for booting are compiled into the kernel and not loaded as modules (i.e. root fs on reiserfs, low level scsi driver, etc.)
Hope this gets you started.

Hello,
I have installed the new kernel as in the SuSE directive. But yet all my users quota are away ... How can I recompile the kernel to have quota activated ?
Thanks for your help.
Eric
