When I compile kernel 2.6.8.1 from ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.8.1.tar.bz2 'splash' doesn't work on boot, it won't mount CDs right (saying that it doesn't understand 'subfs'), and X won't start (even when I recompile the NVIDIA driver (I use the one from nvidia.com, not from Y.O.U.)). Why not?
Because the SUSE kernel has had various patches applied which provide these features. The features aren't supported by standard kernels (or at least not in the same as the SUSE distro expects them to be supported). If you want to run your own kernel and you want these features you need to apply the patches yourself.
