Hai @ all,

Get the latest kernel from Hubert's directory at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mantel/next/. This is the _innofficial_ place for the latest when it comes to the SuSE kernels. The RPMs should install cleanly on a 7.1 or a 7.2 system. If something fails with these kernels, be it in source or in rpm form, it's nothing but bad luck. Since more problems are expected with the 2.4 series kernel, there will be no official kernel update. Instead, it is advised to use a 2.2.19 kernel when security considerations play a major role. Andreas, since you wrote to security@suse.de on Saturday late evening: Do not necessarily expect us to answer _all_ mails on hot, humid and sunny weekends in July.
friendly regards from germany Andreas Wahlert
Thanks,
Roman.

Where is the recommended place for discussion of these kernels and where should problems be reported? It seems unlikely most such material would be appropriate for this list. -- Jonathan Conway The thing about Unix is that all the hoops are rise@knavery.net flaming, so at least you know where they are...

Indeed - please send it to feedback@suse.de instead. Thanks!

I agree... It seems like that there are not too many people willing to
discuss such detailed and specialized matter in a mailing list that is
bound to a distribution/a vendor. After all, all relevant mailing lists
that deal with kernels, networking and discrete subsystems are not
distribution-specialized, and sometimes I tend to believe that the
discussions on distributor-hosted mailing lists are somewhat emotional and
less rational. I'm very please to see that this is rarely the case with
suse-security.
Anyway, I think you could meet people with the same questions and fitting
answers at suse-linux-e@suse.com. The volume is not too high on this list.
Thanks,
Roman.
