Is it possible / adviseable to upgrade SuSE 9.2 with Linux kernel 2.6.8.2x to kernel 2.6.11? with other distros it is supposedly EASY. But YOU shows I'm at current level which is NOT 2.6.11 ?
The question to answer is "what is in 2.6.11 that you really, really need?"
You can always compile your own kernel.
SuSE 9.2 doesn't handle my edgeport4 usb>serial adapter. It is an older model. Curiously, SuSE 9.0 seems to work fine. Support at edgeport have a kernel patch for 2.6.8 but hint that moving to 2.6.11 may be easier. Neither are guaranteed to work. I have never done either (patch or kernel compile).
