Dear Dennis, Marcus, & Greg, Thank you very much for kind help and advises. Finally I succeed to compile my "own style" Kernel 2.6.30.5 for SuSE 11.1. I did a "hybrid" trick of .config that use my favorite setting and the CPU section I pick from OpenSuSE stock setting. It runs as I expected.

No. You can install from the 11.1 Kernel:/HEAD just like another repository. It would be best to add the repo and do the upgrade with YaST (or zypper if you're comfortable with it). The repo is here:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_11.1/

Note: The packaging for the 2.6.31 kernel is different. While in 11.1 2.7.29 there are 3 packages (kernel-default, kernel-default-base, kernel-default-extra), in 11.2 2.6.31 there is only 1 package installed, kernel-default. Apparently quite a few modules have been moved into the kernel mainline code. So the kernel-default-extra package is gone altogether. The kernel-default-base package is still there, but I don't know why - it does not get upgraded by YaST when going to 2.6.31 nor is it installed with kernel-default in 11.2.

...

Do you mean get the setting from .config of stock kernel of 11.1?
