WHY ?? What has been done the makes it so dificult (impossible for my level of knowledge) to boot suse 9.3 with an older kernel.....?
The difference between the 2.4 and the 2.6 kernel is too great. They also introduced an enormous amount of changes in hotplugging and other hardware related activities that are kernel bound. It's simply a case that too much happened to retain compatibility. The big mistake here IMNSHO was in calling 9.0 9.0. It should have been 8.3, because it doesn't have a whole lot in common with the other 9.x releases. The differences in some cases are quite drastic. But I'm glad you got your problem solved through other means
