Hi, I'm just going through the beta 2 update packages in the new factory and I see yast wants to install three kernel packages :- kernel-pae - Kernel with PAE Support, kernel-pae-base - Kernel with PAE Support - base modules and kernel-pae-extra - Kernel with PAE Support - extra modules. Where can I find information on what has happened to the kernel in opensuse?

From the changelog of kernel-source:

- Split the binary kernel packages into three parts: + kernel-$flavor-base: very reduced hardware support, intended to be used in virtual machine images + kernel-$flavor: extends the base package; contains all kernel modules we can support + kernel-$flavor-extra: all other kernel modules which may be useful, but which we cannot support.

If you have questions or comments, please ask on the opensuse-kernel mailing list,

Andreas Thanks I sent the query to the kernel list and received the explanation I needed. Regards Dave P
