I agree with the use of 2.4.20. I've used a lot of non-SuSE kernels and I've never noticed anything missing other than the 'pretty boot-up screen' you get with an SuSE install. I can live without that.
I imagine most people do the same thing. Personally, I wanted 2.4.20 for its reiserfs speedups and VM fixes, so using mantel's sources was not an issue. What patches do you apply when you roll your own? Whenever I built my own kernel, I do / apply the following patches: - RML's preemptive patch - loop-AES + ciphers (for reading partitions encrypted using YaST2) - lm_sensors (for reading the temperture of my CPU) - grsecurity - change HZ to 1000 in linux/include/asm-i386/param.h Anything else I am missing / would find interesting?
