Thanks for this but, no, this is not the reference I am looking for. This one is about a bug, but the one I want actually gave instructions about what to alter in the parameters for the kernel before compiling it to give, for example, Timer Frequency of 1000Hz instead of the default of (?)250Hz.
Ah, that's one is easy, I don't need my archive ;-)
CONFIG_HZ_100 is not set CONFIG_HZ_250=y # CONFIG_HZ_300 is not set # CONFIG_HZ_1000 is not set
at least in the sources of 11.0, I don't have installed those of 11.2 (to reduce download time during zypper dups)
(I did a grep for "time", then "250", then "CONFIG_HZ_" in the linux/.config file to find it. As I say, easy ;-) )

Ugh. I'm attempting a zypper up on rc.2 and I'm getting multiple download errors:
Failed to download SOMETHINGi586.rpm from http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2/repo/oss/ Abort, retry, ignore? [a/r/i/?] (a): r
I have to do an "up", then "dup", then install the extra kernel, in preparation for testing the other type of kernel. But with those multiple retries it is going to fail overnight.
OK, I just installed 11.2 RC2 on another set of HDs (and then upgraded to 11.2 GM using zypper dup). Everything works fine. During the installation 11.2 determined that I needed the DEFAULT kernel which - as we have been discussing - I wasn't going to have a bar of :-) so using the Software option during the installation I deselected kernel-default and chose kernel-desktop. (Also added kernel-desktop source and devel - because I always compile my own nVidia driver). All works perfectly - and the Timer Frequency is set to 1000hz in this kernel. The first thing I noticed is that the quality of the TV picture improved (I watch TV on my computer) - no 'streaking' or 'stuttering' on some HD channels. I am writing this post back on my "main" computer which has the default kernel installed but I will be replacing it with the desktop version later tonight. BTW, zypper, when upgrading the RC2 to GM, automatically restarted the downloads (because I lost connection a number of times - happens when there are thunderstorms in the vicinity :-( ). FYI.
