There is a link/file describing the list of patches applied to the vanilla kernel by SuSE for each version? Andrea Negro IBM Linux Impact Team

Just pull the kernel source rpm off the diskset for the version you are interested in. All the patches and the vanilla kernel are included. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation

I could not find the right rpm from 8.1. I'm probably looking in the wrong place. Under devel/sources, I see three things: - Suse kernel source, already patched - km_*, various external modules - Vanilla kernel I searched, as an example, the splash patch by Stepan included by Suse. The vanilla package contains no reference to this patch, so I assume it is the standard vanilla rpm-source, with no addons. The Suse package contains the patch already applied, no separate file or hint about it. There is no documentation about changes made by Suse in the kernel. In the km_* packages there is nothing interesting about this example. So, my conclusion is I'm wrong. :) Where I should check? AFAIK, there is no documentation about this topic . Of course, I have the source, but not the time to search in it. ;) Thanks for suggestions. Kind Regards Andrea Negro -- andrea_negro@tin.it IBM Linux Impact Team

patches were (probably still are ) available at ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/people/mantel/next/ -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx

I think you should ask SuSE directly. Contact addresses are e.g. on http://www.suse.de/en/company/suse/contact/ -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se

The right address for things like this is http://www.suse.de/feedback Philipp -- Philipp Thomas work: pthomas@suse.de Development SuSE Linux AG private: pth@t-link.de

I'm sorry. I just assumed that the 8.1 distribution followed the same pattern as previous releases which included the patches with the vanilla kernel. I guess 8.1 likes to hide them. More likely is that the patch set dosn't apply cleanly, and requires manual editing, which makes it wise not to include them. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
