Hi everyone.

I have just downloaded the latest kernel update for SuSE 8.1.

The two packages are:

k_deflt-2.4.21-203.i586.rpm

kernel-source-2.4.21-201.i586.rpm

Surely the source should be patch 203 as well?

Will this cause problems with compiling the nvidia driver, ie unresolved kernel symbols?

Kind Regards - Keith Roberts

SuSE has done similar numbering changes. IIWY, I wouldn't worry about it.
