Is there a reason that the kernel-bigsmp version is lagging so far behind the rest?
Yes, that's because kernel-bigsmp has been renamed to kernel-pae, and the kernel-bigsmp that's still in ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/HEAD/i386 is the last one that was built. Thanks for pointing out this problem; I'll remove the obsolete file.
So you want to use kernel-pae instead of kernel-bigsmp ...
I thought that might be the case when I was looking for a newer kernel this past weekend.
The KOTD is rather volatile... is there a spot I can get an earlier stable kernel build with all the SUSE patches and matching sources... 2.6.24 for example?
Well, you missed the matching time frame for earlier builds. I was lucky being able to fetch the latest 2.6.24.1 build right in time from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_Factory/i586... and patched it up to .3 myself. http://packages.opensuse-community.org shows at least one remaining build of 2.6.24.1: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ervin:/kernel/openSUSE_10.3 but unfortunately no pae build. I can send you my spec files, but at least some rpm build knowledge is required from your side to get you going, as I cannot explain every detail.. To the SUSE kernel hackers: what about creating a http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/STABLE area, where the latest stable kernel would be available? That would also came in handy for regression testing.. Sure, everybody should life right on the bleeding edge, since those rc-beasts needs every testing they can get, but OTOH, there are a lot of people I bet, who are adventurously enough to run the latest stable one, but won't commit suicide throwing them on some production servers they run (like me..). Even if the servers survive the experiments somehow, probably my users would kill me ;-)..
