If I upgrade a kernel, using the YAST and RPM system, do I have to recompile a kernel, or do the old preferences follow in the upgrade. (I'm thinking specifically of SCSI, which was detected in the original installation. Without that, the machine will not work, since all the drives are SCSI.) -- This email sent without help from Microsoft. Linux rocks!

Isn't this the reason it took it sooo loooong to get to the list? ;-)

So if you pick the same kernel configuration, with SCSI support in your case, then all should work out fine without you having to recompile the kernel. BUT, this requires you to pick the correct kernel configuration when prompted. I would advise making a bootdisk in case something goes wrong. After all, according to Microsofts Ballmer and Mundie, open source sucks and shouldn't be trusted :) dm> -- This email sent without help from Microsoft.
