It seems that there are a few stallwarts out there, yours truly one of us, who still use suse 11.3, 11.2, 11.1 and even 10.x as the main os. Most of these os's are out of maintenance, so a kernel upgrade would have to be manual. If you have upgraded the kernel in an out of maintenance system, can you please post a comment or two on the result?
Nothing much to say except it's no big deal. Get the kernel source you want, configure it using the existing config.gz as a base, then build and install. Recreate initrd.

Thanks Per, actually the question is more about the after effects of a kernel upgrade rather than the mechanics of it.
Why didn't you simply state the above to begin with? That you want to know the "after effects" and not "the mechanics" of doing a kernel upgrade?
Hey, Basil, you pompous phuquetard, why didn't *YOU* actually *READ* the OP's original post? Or is that just too much of a waste of your overly precious time too? It's azzhats like you that just keep right on slicing the neck of this once really good mailing list.
