Do you know where you can download the SUSE Patches? I was under the impression they were not avaliable.
That I'm not sure about - I'd guess you could extract them from the kernel source rpm.
Also, yeah, I think I am going to go ahead with the Vanilla.. Now I just gotta brush up on my Kernel skills.. I've loved the patched stuff from SUSE, but I think .23 has enough changes for me to give it a go.
It was fairly easy to leverage suse features to move to the new kernel.
make cloneconfig save .config file install new kernel source copy .config to new kernel src dir make oldconfig make make modules_install make install

That preserves the SUSE config, but it loses all the SUSE kernel patches. As an example the SATA-PMP patches are in the suse kernel, but not in 2.6.23. That patchset along is a couple thousand lines of source (iirc).
