recover it, I had a power failure which required that I reboot. That left me in .31 due to the fact that the old kernel isn't saved anymore like it used to be as a backup. I wonder why that important piece of safety equipment was removed?
It wasn't removed: rather it was never there. Yast always replaces the kernel and every other package it installs.
The kernel obviously was there in /boot and it was removed and replaced. Back in 9.3 or so, when a kernel was replaced, it wasn't removed but used as a backup. That saved my buns more than once and I lament the change to replace and remove of the current versions.
Anyhow, if anyone has a copy of that rpm, I would dearly love it if you could somehow get it to me. I have checked all the places that usually have copies but they have mysteriously disappeared. :(
Does the one on the DVD work?
The DVD has -23 on it and no, that had a bug. -25 came out and suddenly the driver was able to work. When .29 came out, it was broken again as is .31 I would try and compile the kernel again but I don't think I could ever get all the options the same as 'bigsmp' was as released in the rpm. Darned power failures anyhow! A few more minutes and I would have recovered the rpm off of the raid :(
You should report on bugzilla your problem with the new kernel that the old hasn't, anyhow, so that the new one can be patched.
I submitted a bug report a long time ago on this along with a GPL's copy of the source code to the driver which compiled sucessfully with -25 but not on the others. The bug is still open and the manufacturer has other cards with 'higher priorities'. Their controller is super, their support leaves a lot to be desired.
