Hello, the procedure is quite the same. Briefly, what I am doing is : Download the latest and greatest linux kernel from SuSE or www.kernel.org cd /usr/src rm linux ln -s new-linux-kernel linux cd linux make mrproper; make clean; make menuconfig make dep;make modules;make modules_install;make bzImage #Make a copy of your original kernel image, in case your new one have #some problem cp /boot/vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz.org #Copy the new one cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz cp System.map /boot #edit /etc/lilo.conf or /etc/chos.conf which one you use lilo # or chos If it is all ok, then reboot and enjoy.

Hi all
I was wondering I want to install the newest kernel on my suse box 7.1 wich by the way I think is great( after I figured out /etc/rc.conf) But the suse way still confuses me slightly. What exactly would I need to upgrade my kernel? I am used to compiling from source, and would like to compile again if possible, as I am planning to switch some major servers over to suse.
I am espetially conserned about the packages , like kernel headers and kernel utils and hdparm for my ide drives wich I use quite often.
I am running the stock 2.4.0 kernel currently. Can someone also explain where I tell my system wich modules to use in modules.conf ? the suse version looks strange to me and I don't understand it.
I am learing suse more each day and think I am a convert. ;-) I like it more and more.
also there seems to be a problem with my live update in yast2 it doesn't want to finish and gives me an error message.BTW does anyone know of a mirror in South-Africa?
Tnx all
Stefaans
