hi there,
i am wondering why i have there kernel rpm packages installed on my opensuse 11.1 system? i think it used to be only one kernel rpm package still back in opensuse 11.0
atm i have: kernel-pae-base-2.6.27.7-9.1 kernel-pae-extra-2.6.27.7-9.1 kernel-pae-2.6.27.7-9.1
and i wanted to fool around with kotd a bit. i suppose i need to look at the "pae" named rpm files in http://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/SLE11_BRANCH/i586/
Yes.
in what way and in what order do i apply those newer pae rpm packages from the kotd directory above? its been a while since my last manual kernel package installations.
rpm -Uhv kernel-pae-*.rpm will do the trick if you want to run rpm by hand after downloading the 3 rpms.
is there any current howto or best-practices document about opensuse kernels as of 11.1 or factory? i dont seem to find any kind of kotd documentation and i fail to find about the reason and origin why we are having three kernel packes in 11.1 installed.
I think this has already been answered, and if you have further questions about it, please feel free to ask on the opensuse-kernel mailing list. hope this helps, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
