I am in situation where I have servers that do not use the SLES 9 stock and vetted kernel, they use a later 2.6 kernel from kernel.org. The server exhibits behavior of instability when booting because the kernel crashes mysteriously and there are ext3 boot-up errors as well. Keep in mind this is a production environment that someone put into jeopardy by compiling a pristine kernel without knowing all the facts of what was needed by the OS and it applications.
I just would like to know who else practices this in a production environment. And why??
Thanks,

I would think the only reason to recompile a kernel now a days is for some legacy support of a really old piece of hardware or for off-the-wall hardware. But if you're going to run a production server, you should probably go with well documented/supported hardware. I'm sure there are other reasons to do it, though. Just my $.02 -- Michael S.
