The description for kernel-pae suggests using it with all PAE-capable CPUs (mine is Athlon II). Would like confirmation on how to do that. From other forum entries is seems I should install the kernel-pae first, then reboot. Grub2 should then present the option to boot from the new kernel. From there I could uninstall the default kernel.
But, does that process also update the repositories in yast? Or is that a separate process?
Will now update my signature to show openSuse 12.2 with KDE, all 64-bit versions.
Thanks.
Hi
PAE if for 32bit systems, not 64bit systems. The default should be fine, but maybe switching to desktop may be an improvement?? To do this you just need to select the desktop kernel via YaST and it should just switch after the reboot.

kernel-pae is not necessary, or beneficial, if you are on a 64-bit
system. Are you really wanting to go back to 32-bit with PAE?
Your steps seem fine, though you may want to leave the default kernel
behind. It’ll take a little disk space, but that’s it; up to you.
Good luck.
