Remember I volunteered to be part of the Evergreen kernel team if you moved to the 2.6.32 kernel.
Greg, do you know what else (if so) needs to be updated when moving to this kernel?
I'm not Greg, but in my case for 2.6.31, the usual offenders were (IIRC): NetworkManager, WLAN, bluetooth, ...
Sounds like the usual suspects. I don't have any specific knowledge of 11.1 issues with a 2.6.32 kernel. I see openSUSE:Evergreen:11.1:Test already has a 2.6.32 kernel. Was that branched from Kernel:SLE11-SP1? If so, I can try to setup a 11.1 test machine today and at least give the kernel a basic boot test with real hardware.
Unfortunately, on my main workstation, where I'm locked into 11.1 because of customer (support) needs, 2.6.31 is the last working kernel - all attempts to get beyond that failed so far: the problem is that my bog standard PS2 keyboard (Cherry G80-3000) will stop responding at a random point until the system is rebooted. It's probably due to races in the input system of the kernel and X, that got fixed on later releases, but who knows. What I know is, that it never happened with .31, but with any of .32, .33, .34. Asking for advice, how to debug this here and on LKML got ignored. Needless to say, that I'm dependent from this system to get real work done.
Once the Kernel:SLE11-SP1 kernel is shown to basically work with opensuse 11.1, do you have the ability to test it on that platform? That is a LTS kernel that suse, redhat, etc. are putting fixes into so it should be more stable than 2.6.31. Especially if your 2.6.32 testing was some time ago.
