How did you install 2.2.16? I am a new user of 6.4 and was wondering if there was an automatic way of installing 2.2.16? I presume only .rpm files are used but I have tried installing 2.2.16 (with rpm files) and have not gotten very far.
How did you do it?
I just downloaded the source from www.kernel.org. I don't use any of the enhancements in the SuSE kernel, so I didn't need the rpm.

The 'enhancements' are not jsut feature updates, it's also memory management fixes and other stability fixes. Try stock 2.2.16 on a big busy server...

Hey... my little 128 MB workstation was offended by your comment :-) I know that the SuSE kernel rpms had many more fixes, but I did not want to wait for the rpm because, I have a permanent Internet connection. The stock 2.2.16 kernel has performed well on my machine even under heavy workloads so I cannot really comment on al of the problems that others experienced with it.
