Installed latest: 2.6.27.23-0.1
All just fine and dandy for me.
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
And I’m done!
+1
Works for me too.
I use 2.6.30rc7 
No probs here just had to let vmware recompile
Edit just noticed i have no sound (Nvidia ACL888)
Do some poking around and get back not sure if it’s related to the new kernel
Edit 2 enabled pulseAudio in Yast and got my sound back.
Would not work with pulse before
Thats interesting to read. I note a user in another thread has a sound problem with 2.6.27.23 (also with a newer KDE version). They were blaming the KDE version, but I’m thinking it was the new kernel. Sound problem with KDE 4.2.3 r2 - openSUSE Forums Last I looked (90 minutes ago) the new rpms for the latest kernel were not on the build service yet.
I’m wondering if your YaST fix may work for them …
Immediately after updating, I started to get notifications about the Intel SDA chip not working and falling back to PulseAudio; the sound works however.
Stack of Pulse audio updates in there today. FYI
I updated last night and was ready for problems (video mostly, because of my previous experience) but everything worked flawless. Video and sound are ok so i’m happy that updates work better than before;)
> All just fine and dandy for me.
smooth on 10.3 with KDE3…
it even automatically rebuilt/installed the Nvidia driver…yipee!!

After a largely successful update, a couple of us see the (oldcpu started thread in Applications) now have the problem that Kmix master sound is muted on every reboot. It wasn’t before before th update. This is the same as experienced on 11.1 milestone1/2. A pulseaudio update went through at the same time on 11.1. Anyone know why this now happens or how to prevent?
Normally I’m unsure about where to find feedback on kernel updates i.e. Installation or Applications. Putting it here as well may add to that problem for users, especially new ones. Could we please have a convention and stick to it. Thanks. 
I’m not sure … but is there a kmix option to save its settings?
I had problems with my nVidia drivers and had to go through a re-install of them (posted results elsewhere in hope it helps someone else). Also had to recompile my VBox driver (on-screen instructions from VBox worked).
Other than that, no problems so far.
everything ok here:)
No issues on a few clusters that I rebooted (Up to 300 servers)
Thanks for the reply. I overlooked that. Also when you can, please see my latest finding in this specific Kmix thread.
I think you have been there before. 
For those with non-functioning sound as a result of the new 2.6.27.23 kernel, the SuSE-GmbH packager has now released the rpms for the update to 1.0.20 of alsa for the 2.6.27.23 kernel. Note this is on a special multimedia repository and not on the standard “update” repository.
There is guidance here for doing the update:
Alsa-update - openSUSE
Note one MUST send six zypper commands, being certain to pick the one’s specific to one’s openSUSE version. I recommend one optimize the alsa apps to be installed to match what one has on one’s PC already. … and also the second last command in the 3 command group should be specific to one’s kernel. Do NOT install multiple alsa-driver-kmp-<packages> … Only install the ONE that is applicable.
It worked for me. It’s reassuring to know that this forum is here, and that one can wait a week or so to be sure all the issues have been discussed befor taking the plunge.
Waiting for the matching nVIDIA updates after a kernel update is my two cents of advice.
The matching nVIDIA driver is already in the nVIDIA repo. Just updated it on Monday. No problem at all.
