You can look at: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mantel/next/lx_sus24.changes for a changelog listing all of the enhancements that SuSE has made to the kernel. Those would presumably be what you're losing if you go with the ones from kernel.org. You can also, from that directory, download all of the patches that SuSE applies to the stock kernels. Then you can see exactly what the differences are.
In reading the changelog file, I see that today is your lucky day, since the latest Mantel kernel apparently has XFS support in it.
Coool! Thanks for the good news! Anthony

You don't lose much, but the latest SuSE kernel is in ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mantel or a mirror such as http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mantel/
It has at least been tested a rather more thoroughly with SuSE.
I think the Mantel kernels don't typically have pcmcia support. You shouldn't need it unless you have a laptop.
I'm already running Mantel 2.4.18 and I'm running on a laptop so I guess pcmcia support must be built in.
I'm looking for XFS support as well.
Thank You, Anthony

What do I lose if I were to start compiling my own kernels from "kernel.org" rather than use SuSE kernels? Any SuSE specific system issues?
