I see we have another kernel update, great job getting the latest security fixes out in a timely manner. :-)
BUT, I don't see an update in the Nvidia repo that corresponds to this kernel update, Does that mean that the driver is included in the kernel update? Is this an oversite or are you hoping for a flood of emails from people bitching about how the latest kernel update broke their "X" system again. This is not good for openSUSE's reputation. A little more coordination is needed here I think.
The kernel does not change the KABI symbols, the old NVIDIA (and ATI) driver will continue to work.
(If you use the NVIDIA (or ATI) supplied KMPs.)
Also in the meantime new madwifi-kmp-* packages have been supplied in http://madwifi.org/suse/10.3/ to match the current kernels.
Ciao, Marcus
Good news. :-) A little note like the following would have been nice: "This kernel update does not require a corresponding update from Nvidia therefore you will have a version mismatch on the Nvidia driver packages" -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
