Is ist true, that when updating a suse-kernel, you need the original kernel, clean, than patch this to the new version, and then apply only one suse-patch to the latest original kernel?
Seems there are some irritations regarding the "S.u.S.E. Kernel" ;-) First of all: There's nothing magic about the S.u.S.E. kernel. The release cycles of the "official" kernel are so long that we keep our own version of the kernel. But this version essentially is the official kernel plus bugfixes plus new drivers plus updated drivers. So, as soon as 2.0.34 is released, simply forget about 2.0.33-suse. Just consider the S.u.S.E. kernel an interims release. As many of the patches in patch-2.0.34 have already been contained in 2.0.33-suse, you cannot apply the official patch from Linus against a S.u.S.E. kernel. The correct way is to uninstall the patched kernel and install the official one. After that you can apply the official patch from Linus. The current 2.0.34-suse only has updates for the aic7xxx driver and for the NCR53c8xx driver. I forgot to include the drivers for parallel port CD-ROM drives which are still not in the official kernel.
thanks arnulf
