There's no reason to switch the kernel symlink.
You should be able to just add the new kernal to the grub files in the /boot directory
(this allows you to boot to either the regular kernel or the realtime kernel by just selecting a menu item at boot time.
read up grub... unfortunate the complete documentation in one of those dispicable Texinfo files rather than a man file.
Unless you use emacs regularly, pinfo is easier to use than info, so
pinfo grub.
Ok I can do that :). I also discovered that there is a kernel source available kernel-rt. You only see it when you search for it in zypper (in yast2 it's invisible).
I currently have the 2.6.22.9-0.4 kernel-source version installed, how do I install the 2.6.22.5-31 kernel-source next to it?
Aniruddha, That will be no problem. The kernel will install in /boot and the source will go in its own directory in /usr/src. I have 11 different kernels and kernel sources available for booting on a openSuSE 10 server. Like Rajko says, what determines which kernel is "active" is the sym links in boot that point to vmlinuz and the /usr/src/linux symlink that points to the "active" kernel source tree.
