kernel update for suse 9.0 pro
Hello everybody ..
I m planing to do a kernel update to my suse 9.0 pro system.Kernel type is default (celeron 500 mhz) and version is the one shipped with suse 9.0 (2.4....)
.
I m connecting to internet via proxy (another suse 9.0 box) and i am not able to run the yast2 online update (probably a port - firewall issue) .
Does anyone know how to solve this yast2 issue , or does anyone has to suggest a good version of the default kernel for suse 9.0 pro to update?.
i have downloaded 2.6.8 last night from ftp.suse.com - kernel of the day , but when tried to update it , a update-modules.dep dependency problem arose.
Also, where i can find kernel rpms (or is it better to compile the kernel ?) .
Some days ago tried to install suse personal 9.1 (with kernel 2.6..) with xp but the new kernel screwed the partition table (old mb).
Are any issues known of updating to a new kernel and messing the partition table?
Thanks in advance ..
