I'm glad others are still compiling their own kernel. It needs to happen.
Yes it does.... and in my view, it is far less problematic than trying to use the RPM's. Once you learn how to compile a kernel and install it side-by-side with *any* other kernel, you are home free. And it really isn't that difficult. I would recommend it to anyone....

Don't bet too much on that. I know SuSE tend to back-port important features which you might not get from the source. I guess as long as you leave the SuSE kernel in place, you probably don't need to worry about rpm dependencies. I'm not sure exactly what I'd have to change these days to point to the correct boot image and initrd, but I'm loath to change things that SuSEconfig has under management, unless I use YaST to do it. If you do touch those files, you better pay close attention when applying patches, etc. SuSEconfig won't fix them up for you as it would its own work.
