I have a host which will only boot with the patched SUSE kernel, a vanilla kernel using the SUSE .config results in a kernel panic. Is there a way of stripping out the SUSE patches individually, so I can find out which patch is responsible for the machine booting.
Thanks for the replies. Here is the panic text from kernel 2.4.24, using the same .config as the SUSE kernel: reiserfs: found format "3.6" with standard journal reiserfs: checking transaction log (device ataraid(114,2))... for (ataraid(114,2)) is_tree_node: node level 10799 does not match to the expected one 4 ataraid(114,2):vs-5150:search_by_key: invalid format found in block 521998.
