Thanks for the response and the help.

I've been in flame wars for nearly a decade now and I doubt that any troll
will discourage me from trying to get good information.  Two things I've
learned about mailing lists over the years:

First:  Not all posters are equally knowledgable and a good background is the
first step to deciphering good information from good intentioned background 
noise.  

Secondly: There is always someone somewhere ready to make an unproductive and
obnoxious comment.  Its best not to feed the trolls.

As for the comment, that would be great advise, unfortunely I blew away the
old kernels source code in order to make room for the new kernel.  So this
very good recommendation is a day late and a dollar shot.  However, if you
have a .config file and email it to me as an attachment, I'd apreciate it.

One of the advantages, however, of doing a new kernel is to pair this kernel
down.  SuSE is a kitchen sink :)

You must be a stupid engineer then, because politcs and technology have been
