It seems that there are a few stallwarts out there, yours truly one of us, who still use suse 11.3, 11.2, 11.1 and even 10.x as the main os. Most of these os's are out of maintenance, so a kernel upgrade would have to be manual. If you have upgraded the kernel in an out of maintenance system, can you please post a comment or two on the result? thanks, d.
Are you familiar with the Evergreen project?
Yes, the evergreen repo and gwdg repos have been added in yast.
Lot's of non-kernel updates have been released as part of the Evergreen project.
For 11.1 see: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Evergreen_11.1
Both 11.1 and 11.2 are being supported with new security patches provided by your friendly community volunteers.
11.1 in particular seems your interest per later emails.
The 2.6.27 kernel for 11.1 has received no patches from the Evergreen team.
But a 2.6.32 test kernel for 11.1 is available. I suspect it is missing a lot of add-in module support etc., but no users have complained to date about missing functionality.
did not see it on evergeen
It's OBS at https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=openSUSE%3AEvergreen%3A11.1 %3Akernel-2.6.32%3ATest
ok, that's a little diff, will test it:)
Give it a spin some time. And join the Evergreen users mailing list. It is pretty low volume, so you don't have to worry about getting tons of emails.
Greg
thanks Greg:)
