Hello list.
Many post about new kernel update was not positive. Somebody installed this update without any problems?
I did so. Note that most problem reports were related to the Nvidia binary-only modules. Binary modules are always problematic with kernel upgrades and you cannot completely debug the problem down, because you don't have the sources.
I have a server WWW (Pentium 2) working on SuSE 8.1 Pro, without any X11. There is only packets I need: Apache, PHP, PostgreSQL 7.3.2 (compiled from source) and some more. Still I'm afraid to install this update to kernel.
Do you have local access to the system or a serial console? If yes, then just try it. If the kernel failed you can immediatelly go back to the old kernel. So you at least don't have a regression. I wouldn't use servers without serial console anyway in scenarios where I don't have local access.
