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??
Possibly something was not working and the new kernel solved that. Like some unsupported hardware, or some feature needed for another app. Whoever did that should have documented it.
You should be able to put the original kernel back easily, but without knowing what it is that (possibly) did not work...

I wish that the case. :) It was mostly HP and Penguin hardware and nothing special in hardware to drive. :)) The excuse was, and I quote, "It was the latest stable 2.6 kernel". This guy just customized EVERYTHING -without documentation - for no damn reason. Sorry if I sound bitter, but you would not believe the unjustified customizations. :) LDB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
