Once upon a time there was only one "normal" kernel for opensuse.
Nope :) Once upon a time there were umpteen kernels, one for every type of disk subsystem and controller whoose support was compiled into the kernel. That changed when SuSE started to use an initrd to dynamically load the needed drivers. Ironically kernel-desktop revises that a bit because a selected part of the drivers are compiled into the kernel to speed up booting.
opensuse, despite their claims, are simply favoring desktop users over server users once again.
No, it's simply assumed that mosty of the server users will use SLE not openSUSE.
As a server installer, I must now always add more steps to my install procedure to install kernel-default and remove kernel-desktop since favoring latency over throughput would be death for me and I need LXC which needs cgroups.
There is openFATE and I'd strongly advise you to use it to enter such feature requests. Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
