maybe a suse-patch-2.2.14.rpm would be more helpful, assuming SuSE's kernel developers have integrated their stuff with the vanilla 2.2.14 yet. -----Original Message----- From: Ben Rosenberg [SMTP:ben@whack.org] Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2000 3:15 PM To: nerd@zip.com.au Cc: Michael Spartana; suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] Kernel 2.2.14 Hello all, Well, as far as I am concerned I think SuSE should put out a 2.2.14 RPM mainly because 2.2.13 has problems with vfat formatted zipdisks. I know this isn't a DoS attack bug or anything, but I know that other people besides me have vfat formatted zips. There is a bug in the 2.2.13 kernel which is basically a changeline bug. One can put a zip in and mount it, then retrieve data from it, but when you umount it and put the next one in it then writes the same TOC to the next zipdisk destroying the contents of the disk. I think this is a bug that warrents a 2.2.14 RPM for those who do not know how to pick and choose everything that a vanilla tarball calls for. If I remember correctly SuSE makes kernel mods that would probably be useful. P.S. I have already updated to 2.2.14 and zipdisks work great. just my 0.02 for what it's worth. Thanks,
As far as i know, SuSE does not make RPM'd versions of new kernels available.. That is untill a new version of SuSE Linux comes out.. My advice is just to download the vanilla kernel source from kernel.org and compile it yourself :) Nice and easy :)
