Hi list I just installed SuSE 6.3 with YaST2. I used the automatic installation, and it worked great. (Except that the X-fine-tuning crashed the machine, but it just took a reboot and it continued from the same point.) Now I am wondering what the difference is between the two kernels that were installed. One is called "linux" and is the default in lilo, the other is called "suse".

If this is not what you meant, sorry, i can't use yast2 so I don't know what it does. -- Tim, NJ mailto:tajcs@mindspring.com -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

On the assumption your referring to the two directories in /usr/src. The one called 'linux' is a symlink to the other, 'linux-2.2.13.suse'. The actual kernel is named 'vmlinuz' and is located in /boot. If this is not what you meant, sorry, i can't use yast2 so I don't know what it does.
No, that was not what I meant. I am talking about the actual compiled kernels in /boot. The one called "linux" in lilo is /boot/vmlinuz. I can't recall the exact filename of the other. I don't have the kernel sources installed (I think), since I don't plan on recompiling the kernel unless I need to. I would guess that YaST2 just gives the same as the default in the old YaST. At least with the Automatic Install.

There's no difference until you compile your own kernel. This is just a
safety feature, i.e. to give you a fallback that is known to work.

That's nice to know. Thanks. Regards Ole -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
