Want to tell us the level of that kernel? 2.6.??.??
Sorry, the last working was : kernel-source-2.6.11.12-20050623094128.i586.rpm and the last tried was the one of yesterday : kernel-source-2.6.13_rc3_git4-20050720092318.i586.rpm <ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/projects/kernel/kotd/i386/ HE AD/kernel-source-2.6.13_rc3_git4-20050720092318.i586.rpm>
Now I 'm only able to run : kernel-source-2.6.11.4-SL93_BRANCH_20050720092439.i586.rpm
Yep, just as I thought.
I've been building my own vanilla kernels and I got up through 2.6.11.12 just fine (still running that one) but 2.6.12 and 2.6.12.2 both had the problems you are seeing.
USB doesn't work and my network refused to start up at boot time. If I went into YAST and just *looked at* my network config but didn't change anything, when YAST finished the network would be up... so Yast must have run something to get it started. rcnetwork start didn't start it up.
So something major changed at the 2.6.12 level and I haven't been able to find out what it was.
Me too, I've the same problems with the vanilla kernel, I thought that since SuSE builds the kotd kernel for 9.3, this kernel was supposed to work. It is the reason why I send this message to the man who buikds this kernel.

I put the question about "what's wrong with kernels above 2.6.12?" to another list and the answer I got back was that one person had worked a long time to get such a kernel to work with SuSE.... but had no problems at all on RHEL4 or FC4. He thinks it's a problem with SuSE.
OK, I was in the past directly in contact with Hubert Mantel from SuSE. I'll ask him about the problem and let you know if he replies. Michel
