You can always use the kernel.org kernel as long as you don't use any
feature/drivers that only our patched kernel has (e.g.ReiserFS, an I
_always_ use reiserfs except for on /boot, all our Oracle certifications
are done on it as well and it just plain works). If you want 2.2.17 you
can already use the SuSE 2.2.16, that's more of a 2.2.17.
