That looks nasty.
These are OpenSUSE 11.3 machines. What do you mean with recent kernel? Please give me a hint which kernel I shall try.
I'm not an expert in these areas. But I recently had to do something similar because of a problem I had. So hopefully somebody more knowledgeable will jump in if I say something wrong. What I was suggesting is to use the appropriate version of the kernel that you will find at <https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=Kernel%3AHEAD> There's also the kernel at <http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/openSUSE_11.3/> which is not quite as recent but is a lot newer than the stock 11.3 one and which may run if the one from HEAD doesn't work. Just add the repo and install. I'd suggest also setting the multiversion option for yast, so that the original kernel is still installed. In my case, doing that let me know that it was a software problem that had been fixed, and I was able to dig down and find the particular patch so I could work out what upgrade would work (the standard kernel in 11.4 cures my problem, for example) Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
