RE: [SLE] Where's the 2.2.14 kernel?

The kernel can be upgraded safely to the 6.4 version - they are not version-specific as such. Make sure you also update any supporting packages if needed, like PCMCIA and the ReiserFS tools. Note that OSS (free version from SuSE) for an earlier kernel will not work with 2.2.14. When playing with kernels or multiple distributions on one system I put a seperate directory in /boot for each one. You might consider making /boot/2.2.13 and /boot/2.2.14. Modify lilo.conf to boot from /boot/2.2.13/vmlinuz for your current kernel. When you install the 2.2.14 put it in /boot/2.2.14 and add another section to lilo.conf to boot this kernel, call it say "suse" and rerun lilo to make the new boot loader. You can now boot "linux" for the original system and "suse" for 2.2.14. On Tuesday, May 02, 2000 9:14 AM, Derek Fountain [SMTP:fountai@hursley.ibm.com] wrote:

Thanks! But, er, huh? From the 6.4 distro? There isn't one for the 6.3 distro somewhere? And is this guaranteed to work? (I can't think why it shouldn't but maybe someone can.) It's a huge download which I wouldn't want to waste (I pay for my phone calls!).

Well, there ya go :)

I spent an age yesterday on SuSE's web site trying to find the 2.2.14 kernel for SuSE-6.3. No luck. I'm sure it's there somewhere and I just missed it. Can someone give me a link?
