I am unsure if the problems are solved in 2.6.5-7.108-default, because I downloaded the kernel today before I received this mail. Could you please name the kernels exactly, which have the bugs solved, in the announcement?
The previous version was 2.6.5-7.104, so you certainly have the new one.
I personally wouldn't mind a jump to 2.6.8.1 for a specific driverfix I may have a need to but probably will just try the next kernel of the day.
The 2.6.5-7.108 kernel contains the fix.
We will not upgrade to 2.6.8 in the stable product lines (9.1 and sles9), however 9.2 will have a newer 2.6 kernel.
Well never say never, there may yet be some master bug forcing a version jump. Or what was the reason that there was a switch from 2.6.4 (SuSE 9.1 default installation) to the current 2.6.5 version ?
Both SLES 9 and SuSE Linux 9.1 share the same kernel to reduce QA efforts for kernel updates. Since the SLES 9 kernel very very likely will stay at this level the 9.1 kernel will too. The switch was the catchup of the 9.1 kernel to the SLES 9 kernel. Ciao, Marcus
