I have a need to run a 3.4.x flavor kernel on a 13.1 box. No problem on 12.3 but on 13.1 the same kernel faults immediately. I haven't put a serial console on to see the oops message but is there any reason it "shouldn't" work?
This is a completely unsupported scenario and is no wonder it does not work.
Why do you need to do such thing in the first place?
I have a requirement that uses 3rd party GPL out of kernel drivers (serial). As of kernel 3.5 and continuing today, the serial subsystem is undergoing major changes that these 3rd party vendors are unable to keep up with. They have basically given up. These GPL drivers, as of a few months ago, are slowly being added to the kernel by the linuxdevel people (Greg KH). It's a slow process though. Until they are completed and functional I need to use a 3.4 kernel.
Fair enough, but why is it necessary to do this on oS13.1? Particularly since you had it working correctly on an earlier version... Dx -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
