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.
I don't have to have 2.6.24... just a usable stable-ish kernel that is 2.6.22 or higher, and that has the patch applied for the bug I mentioned earlier. I could patch the kernel sources myself and build my own, but in this case, this is not on my computer.. it is on a computer about 500 km away. I have to either walk the user through adding a kernel repository to Smart or give him some location to download a pre-built kernel from. I will test the 2.6.25 kernels from the Factory link above... in tests on the PAE from KOTD, nVidia drivers would not load (makes sense since the kernel modules are for 2.6.18), and I could not manually install the nVidia drivers because gcc4.3 was used to build the kernel and I only have gcc4.1.
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..
That would be really handy,and really helpful for those people who need a newer kernel version than the one available for their installed distribution. C -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
