Hi,
Anyone have installed rernel 2.6.18_rc5 from SL-OSS-factory on SuSE 10.1 ?
ftp.gwdg.de:/linux/suse/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/i586/kernel-smp-2.6.18_rc5_git6.rpm
Did this update break up something on 10.1 or require any extra updates?
It needs at least a newer udev,
Andreas
Andreas, Can you say if a decision has been made for SUSE 10.2 to be 2.6.18 based? I know it is in the factory, but it is not even released yet in vanilla form so I wasn't sure how committed Novel is to the new kernel. Personally I really want to try out/use the new libata code that is in 2.6.18, so I hope it makes the release. FYI: It is my impression that at least on my hardware SUSE 10.1 runs SATA fairly slowly. I haven't done a lot of benchmarks, but I remember getting 4GB/min for a simple raw dd from /dev/sda to /dev/null with older SUSE releases. With SUSE 10.1, I'm only seeing 1GB/min in the few situations I've tried it. (Same MB/etc. but different disks. I change out disks routinely in my job.)
