Any body ever go out to the http://www.kernel.org/ site, grab and update their kernel? How did it go, How did you do it?
I always use the latest vanilla kernel......
Just out of interest, why?
I am fortunate that all my hardware at home and at work works natively in SUSE, and I've never had any stability issues (except with hardware failure), so I've never seen the need to use anything but the kernel supplied with SUSE. Although I did try a few 2.6 kernels with 8.2 and 9.0, but that didn't work as well as I hoped.
There were a number of things in 8.2 and 9.0 that didn't gel with 2.6 - initrd, hotplug, the change to /etc/modprobe.conf etc, I had to do quite a bit of hacking around to get things to work and never got them to work as expected with 9.1, but they were stable once they were up.
