Not essential any more these days, I only do it on big servers, but in the end that's religion.
Anyway, I responded only to point out that on an rpm-based system even the sources are rpm's.... The Linux sources are a little 'special', because it's a binary rpm containing sources. In the case of the SuSE kernel, the patched sources. It is in turn made by a source rpm, which contains a pristine 2.2.16 and the SuSE patches in an extra file/files. You can find the single patches somewhere on the CD, I forgot where, if you're interested to see what exactly we do to a standard kernel.
Can you tell me why "probe all luns" is turned on by default? It's not really that big of a problem, and I just re-compile after turning it off. Is this something that is on the more common SCSI cards like adaptec? I have an advansys, and my teac burner won't work unless I turn this off.
