Hi, it looks like SuSE has released updated kernel packages for SuSE 7.2: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.2/kernel/2.4.7 Even better, nVidia has already recompiled its NVIDIA_kernel package for us. Grab it at their web site. The only thing missing is some sort of release announcement, or SDB article on the newer kernel. I really hope SuSE continues to release official 2.4.x series of kernels on a regular basis, since from what I understand the kernel is in quite a healthy state of development (a euphemism if you've ever heard one ;-). Cheers, ml

Well, finally, I would say.

Not exactly - _we_ compiled these RPMs for them. It took them quite a while to put them on their download site - otherwise the kernel update would have been out much earlier.

You don't want to know how long it took us to get this version stable. 2.4 is still in heavy movement.

Hi Lenz,
I noticed that unlike RH and MDK, SuSE does not provide SMP kernel versions
of the Nvidia driver. Any chance of this happening?

And we all very much appreciate the effort you put into it ! I think most of us hand out much too few thank-you's to the gang that gives us a great Linux distro :) So.... ********************************************************************************** * ##### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### * * # # # # # ## ## ## # # # # # ## ## # # * * # # # ####### # # # # # # # ## ## # # * * # ###### ## ## # # # #### ### ## ## # # * * # # # ## ## # # # # # # ## ## # # * * # # # ## ## # ## # # # ## ## # # * * ### ### ### ## ## ### ### ### ### ### ### #### * ********************************************************************************** Now there's spelling it out :) Of course, that thank-you is gibberish if not viewed with a mono-spaced font.. I hope to see many more years of SuSE. May your karma be healthy and well polished. ( nuff of the drooling ;) -tosi
