Depends upon what you want. The latest 'certified' kernels are located at: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.3/kernel/ and ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.2/ If you are looking for the latest bleeding edge kernels which are available from SuSE development, then go to: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mantel/next/RPM/ but you will have to use these at your own risk. Many people do, but they have not been fully tested and should be considered "beta" I believe. By the way, SuSE, through Mantel, are directly working with the linux kernel group in developing these kernels. Hope this is what you are looking for.

Thanks a lot james! BTW on the current SuSE kernels on SMP what is the maximum support for processors? 4 or more? thanks, chris __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Greetings - Send FREE e-cards for every occasion! http://greetings.yahoo.com
I am running a Compaq DL760 with eight 900mhz CPUs and 16 giga of memory on SuSE Enterprise Server with 2.4.16, I do not think there is a limit up to 16 if I remember, but Intel Chipsets do not perform well over 8way. In fact the Compaq has a Fusion Chip they developed for the 8way I am using. I remember there was once a project to do 32way with Microsoft Datacenter, but that never really went anyplace. I think I am correct to say it has to do with NUMA (Non Uniform Memory Address). Of course the I/O spin locks (meaning single spin lock) and scheduler need improvements, but nobody is making 8+ CPUs on Intel right now anyway, even the Itanium systems we have here running SuSE Enterprise 7 are 4way, and only 16 giga. In theory these systems are supposed to have more like 64 giga memory. I will say that the early versions of 2.4 were not as clean as 2.4.16 in the high memory use when we did a lot of LDAP scaling on the above systems, in-fact BSD was better. But not so right now.
