Just need some clarification and thoughts on kernel versions.
Am I correct in this assumption? - openSUSE 10.2 shipped with kernel 2.6.18 - openSUSE 10.3 shipped with 2.6.22
There is a known bug in the openSUSE 2.6.22 Kernel that affects SATA... See: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331610
I installed openSUSE10.2 on a computer this weekend. We chose 10.2 because of the kernel bug in 10.3 (chipset on motherboard triggers this bug). Since this computer has 4GB of RAM and is being setup with a 32bit install, the bigsmp kernel is used.
In the process of setting up the hardware, I discovered that I need kernel 2.6.22 or higher to support some external hardware (Wacom Bamboo tablet for example).
What repository should/can I add to get the latest stable bigsmp kernel? I looked in the KOTD repository, and that had 2.6.25, but only default and pae... no bigsmp builds (when I checked on Sunday).
Will the latest kernel (or kernel newer than 2.6.22) include the fixes for the bug noted above?
Ask on opensuse-kernel@opensuse.org perhaps. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
