[opensuse] Kernel Upgrade
Greetings all! I am running the 2.6.31.14-0.6-desktop kernel on opensuse 11.2, I want to upgrade to the latest build kernel at least 2.6.35 which will probably fix my buggy DSDT table on my Toshiba L505D-GS6000. The patch for this bug should be included in all versions of the 2.6.35 kernel, I did a test boot with a Fedora 14 live CD and all functionality of the cores, throttling, fan, battery and so on were there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- John Registered Linux User 263680, get counted at http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Warning, should have issued in last post: These are not solidly tested for normal use, ie: experimental. But as I said earlier, I have had no noticeable problems. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

And don't expect that 2.6.37-41.1 will be still available tomorrow. Kernel:Head is basically allready at 2.6.38-rc2. And only due to some build or repo update breakage kernel-desktop 2.6.37 is still available. You might see problems with 2.6.37 an newer if you want to compile third-party kernel modules such as the vmware kernel modules. They might need inofficial patches to get them compiled. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Insted HEAD kernel, it's better to use stable one. http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/openSUSE_11.2/
