Yes, that is why those warnings show up now.  For some reason I thought we had fixed the printing of those messages, maybe that hasn't made it out into FACTORY just yet...

thanks,

Seems to be working very well so far...I guess then it would be great if someone triggered the builds for openSUSE 11.1 as well.

Hi guys,

Is there any chance that the .30 kernel will be backported to openSUSE 11.1, perhaps in the OBS? In general building the factory kernel for the current stable distribution could allow a lot of people to give it extensive testing, so it might really help. No idea if it would require too much work

Hm, can you try taking the current FACTORY kernel and running it on 11.1? Are there dependancies that cause this to not work right now?

I expect wireless will not work - the regdb (?) needs to be compiled for 11.1 at least,

What do you mean by this? I have been testing moblin .30 kernels just fine on 11.1 for a while now. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

So, I've proved myself wrong ;) Not setting up the regulatory domain just limits you to use channel 1-11 for your wireless network. I you didn't setup anyother component of your wireless network to use a channel outside that range it will work as expected.
