But above all, *why* are you updating the kernel. It's something you should only do when it's absolutely necessary (I know there are people on this list who would tell you otherwise - please don't listen to them. They are experienced enough to fix things when they go wrong, and when you play with kernels, things often go wrong)
IMHO, it was necessary. It cured some issues I was having. Some that had no other solution.
I believe there were some others on the list that were having problems that the newer kernel also solved. That is where I got the repo address from, the list, in a post to someone else. After reading the messages I decided to try it myself. AND it worked.
OK, fair enough. Nevertheless, don't do it by adding factory as a source. Just download the kernel rpm individually, and install it manually -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
