I just recompiled my kernel, and am now happily running along with 2.6.11. The install didn't switch the symlinks in /usr/src, however, and I'm wondering just how much of this is going to be an issue? As it stands now:

(2.6.5-7.155.29 was the default SuSE 9.1 kernel.)
I can manually move /usr/src/linux to point to linux-2.6.11, but I'm not sure what linux-obj is used for, and since I don't have a linux-2.6.11-obj directory and google isn't being very forthcoming, I'm not sure if it's even necessary? Maybe I'm being overly analytical here, but I'd rather not start compiling my *explitive deleted* ATI kernel modules and be in the middle of it when I realize I forgot something
