new kernel on tumbleweed

[pier_andreit]

I would like to install the 3.3 kernel on my tumbleweed,
I’m using a dell latitude e6510, intel i7, nvidia NVS 3100N,
is this kernel the right one? :
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/x86_64/kernel-desktop-3.3.0-1.1.x86_64.rpm
I would like to use this way S.A.C.K., is it right? does it works??
and for the NVIDIA drivers I would like to download this:
NVIDIA - Download Drivers
from here,
and use this SANDY way
but I noticed this sticky, so it seems that I have to follow this.

Am I wrong in something?? ave you suggestion or corrections or dontdoit!! many thanks pier

1. The Tumbleweed kernel should come from the Tumbleweed repo, no other. If you’re already on Tumbleweed, it’s useless, maybe even problem-causing, to get your kernel elsewhere.
2. SACK works, but why would you first install a Tumbleweed optimized kernel, then recompile it from the sources?
3. The driver mentions the 32bit version, why run a 32bit OS on a i7?
4. If you have the Kernel Development Pattern installed, and the NVIDIA driver downloaded, yes the sticky is the one to follow, at least if you want a working NVIDIA driver

becouse my tumbleweed kernel now is 3.1.9-1.4-desktop and I would like to have 3.2 or 3.3 for better use my hardware

for the reason in 1)

oh, thanks, I didn’t noticed it, I will check it for x86_64

yes kernel development pattern is installed, NVIDIA driver is downloading, and yes I want a working NVIDIA driver

Thanks, You opened my mind, I don’t remember why and when and where and what, but my kernels didn’t follow tumbleweed kernel, I looked into yast>install software if there was more versions of kernel, they was there, so I installed the kernel from tumbleweed repo, installed the last nvidia driver following the hard way, I met the intel_iommu=off problem solved inserting intel_iommu=off in bootloader, now my touchpad and some temperature sensors works, I don’t know if I will face problems with virtualbox, I will try
