right then the location of the kernel files you need is "ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.1/rpm/" the files you need are as follows .. kernel-default-2.6.5-7.104.i586.rpm kernel-docs-2.6.5-7.104.noarch.rpm kernel-source-2.6.5-7.104.i586.rpm kernel-syms-2.6.5-7.104.i586.rpm
This will give you the kernel in it's enterity(SP) too late/early
you need tp do rpm -i on each of the files to install them . the reason i say rpm -i and not the more usual rpm -vUh is because using the -i way it leaves you with your previous kernel intact and bootable if you use -vUh then it cans your previous kernel not a good idea , if you make a directory for the files and down load tehm all into that dir then cd into it you can do rpm -i *rpm to install them all in one move .

Pete,
Thanks! Getting the files worked, and I was able to follow the Nvidia instructions for recompiling the kernel and reinstalling the driver.
I appreciate your help! Brian
