How i can install and use kernel-vanilla 4.5 in to this Leap ?
Why ?
I have read it an https://pf.natalenko.name/
it is interesting to try it: BFS, BFQ, TuxOnIce in my LapTop.

You can take your chances with a 4.6 vanilla kernel today
Add the Vanilla kernel repo
zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/vanilla/standard/x86_64/ kernel:vanilla
Refresh your repos and either see your available repos
zypper se kernel --from kernel:vanilla
or install with
zypper up
HTH,
TSU
This is first step:

linux-dazx:/home/ksr # uname -a
Linux linux-dazx.suse 4.6.0-rc4-229-g4dfa573-1.g92580de-vanilla #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Apr 24 10:02:50 UTC 2016 (92580de) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
but this kernel without BFQ i/o scheduler :
linux-dazx:/home/ksr # cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
noop deadline [cfq]
well the only way that i know its to compile it your self with pf-kernel patch .
the URL is wrong it should be without the x86_64
sudo zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/vanilla/standard/ kernel:vanilla
that repo has kernel 4.6rc not 4.5
do not use up but dup, up will not switch repo’s
if you already added the vanila repo do this
sudo zypper dup --from kernel:vanilla
or
sudo zypper in kernel-vanilla
if you want to install the 4.5 kernel the above is wrong!!!
the 4.5.2 is hosted in the hardware:/nvdimm repo so you need to add that repo and do a vendor change with it
zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/hardware:/nvdimm/openSUSE_Leap_42.1/ hardware:nvdimm
zypper dup --from hardware:nvdimm
ps installing a development kernel on leap is a bad idea as it might break something, at least you will have to remove and reinstall nvidia and ati video drivers, something else might get broken too.
its not a bad thing if you know what you doing.
but why you tell him do install a kernel-vanilla ?
Maybe because the OP asked:
How i can install and use kernel-vanilla 4.5 in to this Leap ?
I would rather recommend the “official” Kernel:stable repository though, and install kernel-default from there:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/
This does contain 4.5.2 at the moment.
I don’t know whether BFQ is enabled there though.
This is 4.5 kernel with BFQ i/o scheduler ?
Serg
I have no idea, it was the only 4.5 kernel I saw here
https://software.opensuse.org/package/kernel-default
maybe you should do as wolfi said and get the kernel from
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/
but I’m not sure if that one is for leap as that repo does not have a separate leap url
I have made that wanted 
Thank you ALL for suggestions and Help !
Result at this time i have:
linux-i1rh:/home/ksr # uname -a
Linux linux-i1rh 4.5.0-pf1-11-default #1 SMP Fri Apr 22 11:49:34 MSK 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Short How to:
This is my kernel rpms with BFQ: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B1V2SSlATCfNLW9XTENZN2JJcjA&usp=sharing
Serg
i never install with rpm but
i see in this link that he edit grub manually soo what about “grub2-mkconfig” command is it working after you install the rpm?
did you compile lioke this—> make -j[number of core*2] rpm ?
and last question is it stable until now (and don’t forget to enable the patch in the configuration)?
t know ( im not guru. ) … my steps was: download sorce kernel-vanill-4.5.0 + apply pf-patch. after this make menuconfig ( and Check for use BFQ ). After this make and makeinird and rpm -ivh kernel-…Serg
just want to know when i compile manually the kernel myselft there is a special patch that opensuse team use that i don’t aware of ?
witout suse specific pathes.
Serg
i dont understand what you wrote but
i mean when you compile this way (like he wrote) :
Short How to:
is it opensuse team apply patch that we dont aware of or opensuse uses all the features that already exists in the kernel source?
I have build from a vanilla kernel 4.5.0 with only one patch patch-4.5-pf1.xz ( add BFQ i/o scheduler ).
