I missed the thread where on SuSE 6.1 the kernel version changed from 2.2.5 to 2.2.7 in later distributions of 6.1. I got one of these versions and since I had seen the long thread in this mailing regarding this and so I wasn't suprised. My upgrade from SuSE 6.0 to 6.1 was quite smooth however I was surprised to see than when I went over and looked in /usr/src/linux directory I found that the upgrade had installed the source for kernel 2.2.6 instead of 2.2.7. I've been patching and compiling kernels for quite some time and so this wasn't a big deal for me to go download a couple patches to get the kernel source update to 2.2.9. Still I think it would be a good idea if releases installed the same version of the kernel and its associated source so that things are in sync initially. I'm happy that 2.2.7 ran fine on my hardware and so I was able to download the new patches and get my source and kernel image in sync with version 2.2.9. I would have also liked to try out the OSS stuff that's included but by the time I was ready to try it I found that it only works with kernel 2.2.7 and I had already upgraded my system to 2.2.9. It's not tragic as I've been able to get my SB16 working with the sound drivers included with the kernel.
