I don't know about everybody else but I personally find the standard of SuSE updates has dropped since Novell have got the fingers in the pie.
same felling here :( Current problem (since this morning): a "vanilla" suse 9.1 on a poweredge 600 SC with MegaRAID (PERC) was working fine. After YOU update (kernel, inkl. mk_initrd etc.), it can't boot anymore: megaraid module seems to have problems (waiting for device to come, etc. and then nothing). Had to boot from 9.1 install CD and reinstall "orginal" kernel by hand to be able to work again with that server: that's not really serious :( Ok, suse cannot test all modules on kernel updates, but why should a kernel security update break scsi/raid modules!? Lost again a few hours because of this kind of problems :( regards, Olivier
