There are " probably " dozens of these updates across the entire kernel. In short, the SuSE " kernel " (in theory) should work better than the stock kernel. " Thank you. While on the subject, in YAST2 -> Software -> Install/Remove software -> System Environment/Kernel there are two packages related to the kernel sources. One is "kernel-sources" ("The sources of the SuSE kernel"), the other is "linux" ("Rest of the kernel source code"). When I optimised my initial 2.4.4-4GB kernel for Atlon I only installed the former. What is included/purpose of the latter? Just curious.
