Suse 7.1, kernel 2.4.17, Dual Celeron, Gigabyte GA-6BXD. Vanilla kernels work ok on this system. Brian Marr On Wednesday 24 April 2002 06:39, you wrote:
Alex,
Upon receipt of your msg It threaded in KMail under my Thread eventhough the Subject changed. Maybe there's a problem with KMail...sorry.
I'm looking into compiling from plain kernels, however, I've been warned by SuSE and others that there is a risk since SuSE might have some SuSE specific solutions. Anyway, what are your thoughts?
What kernel 2.4.19pre7, 2.4.18 or 2.5x do you recommend???
Thanks,
Anthony
Anthony,
It is NOT YOUR thread.:) It's mine! It's even named differently, and it asked other questions than yours.
My clients hitting problems with default SuSE kernels. So, I'm interested nor lesser than you to get clarifications about potential values of such kernel customization.

Please, you shouldn't leverage someone elses thread for your

Thank You, Anthony
Hello SuSE folkz,
Is it really nessesary to use SuSE custom compiled kernels from
their
website with SuSE distro instead of using plain kernel from kernel.org? What are advantages of using Mantel SuSE kernels over the standard ones? Isn't it true that if you need any additional kernel modules
or
features you can just patch the kernel or compile them in?
I always use plain kernels with additional modules (e.g. ALSA) and
I
never have had any problems. In the same time when I tried to customize SuSE default kernel to my needs, I was always hitting a wall of missing headers and other incompatibilities. Could somebody please enlighten me on this issue.
Thank you. Alex
