Where Can I Find the Suse 2.6 kernel?
Does anyone know where I can find the new kernel for Suse 9.0? If there is one, how do I go about installing it?

If you are using SuSE 9.0 Pro it is on Disk 3. It should be searchable under Software in YaST2. If all else fails check the ftp server linked off the SuSE website.

The Kernel is "Distribution-independent"
This means that you can download the latest kernel version and then apply it to all systems with Linux installed, it doesn't matter if they have SuSE or Mandrake or Fedora or any else Linux distribution installed.

While LinuxSeeker is correct in a sense, if you download a kernel source package from kernel.org, you will want to get all the patches for the kernel version from SuSE, as they have all sorts of distro-specific crap they do to their kernel. This is why SuSE has a reputation for difficult kernel recompiles, because of the patching involved. If you have special needs for your kernel (ie. drivers that are not normally compiled in) then get the source.rpm file from the link above and compile from there. I assume (possibly incorrectly) that the source.rpm from the suse ftp site has the patches applied already. I will find out shortly.
