Kernel 2.6.18_rc5 from SL-OSS-factory on 10.1
Hi, Anyone have installed rernel 2.6.18_rc5 from SL-OSS-factory on SuSE 10.1 ? ftp.gwdg.de:/linux/suse/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/i586/kernel-smp-2.6.18_rc5_git6.rpm Did this update break up something on 10.1 or require any extra updates?

Anyone have installed rernel 2.6.18_rc5 from SL-OSS-factory on SuSE 10.1 ?
is there a particular reason to use a kernel from another verson rather than a kernel for SUSE 10.1? http://software.opensuse.org/download/Kernel/SUSE_Linux_10.1/ working fine since Aug 29 17:49 wahoo:~ > uname -rvm 2.6.18-rc5-1.1-default #1 SMP Tue Aug 29 15:55:15 UTC 2006 x86_64 -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2

It needs at least a newer udev, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

Andreas, Can you say if a decision has been made for SUSE 10.2 to be 2.6.18 based? I know it is in the factory, but it is not even released yet in vanilla form so I wasn't sure how committed Novel is to the new kernel. Personally I really want to try out/use the new libata code that is in 2.6.18, so I hope it makes the release. FYI: It is my impression that at least on my hardware SUSE 10.1 runs SATA fairly slowly. I haven't done a lot of benchmarks, but I remember getting 4GB/min for a simple raw dd from /dev/sda to /dev/null with older SUSE releases. With SUSE 10.1, I'm only seeing 1GB/min in the few situations I've tried it. (Same MB/etc. but different disks. I change out disks routinely in my job.)

It will be 2.6.18 or newer. If a miracle happens ;-) and 2.6.19 comes out really fast, we might switch to it - otherwise 2.6.18 will be it. We expect 2.6.18 to be ready in time.

Hi, Andreas! Thanks a lot for suggestion. And 2.6.18 from ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/linux/suse/opensuse/repositories/Kernel/SUSE_Linux_10.1/i586 also needs newer udev? Where I can get corresponding udev? Sorry, the stuff is being scattered now across multiple locations.

Take it form the factory distribution, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

I don't know :-( AFAIR the ABI broke between 2.6.16 and 18 for udev and therefore this switch is needed but I don't remember details, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
