http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ilya_41/openSUSE_11.0/i586/ has these. Anyone know reasons for or against trying to use any of them on a production server? My problem is https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=406035 which is marked fixed, but for 11.1, not 11.0. For the reasons listed in the thread http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2008-12/msg01969.html I'd rather not be forced into 11.1 if possible.

Can anyone tell why the above bug's owner claims its fix amounts to a new feature preventing fix's inclusion in 11.0 updates? Sorry, don't know CIFS good enough. But if Jeff claims that fixing this means a new feature then I'd trust him...

I installed .27 on an old ICH4 P4 GX260 PATA host I use for testing. Its 11.0 partition is on hda21, and so using piix legacy driver. After a while it locked hard while in runlevel 3. Then I installed .27 on a newer ICH7 P4 RAID1 SATA host "big31" using libata (not my new ICH8 server, but similar in being almost as new). So far big31 hasn't done the same. Can anyone look in the boot.msg & messages logs in http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/SUSE/110/ and tell me if the lockup might have been due to the .27 kernel rather than piix driver or hardware failure? I've looked at those messages but they don't show anything suspicious. Neither regarding the kernel, nor about the HW. If you're able to reproduce the lockup, it might be worth reporting into bugzilla (we'd then need more info to debug this like whether the keyboard still reacts when the lockup happens, whether it happens also when the kernel is in console only etc.). Generally, I don't know a reason why 11.0 distro should have problems running a kernel from 11.1. They are quite close.
