Hello,
I am going for a new installation of OpenSuse 11.1 (x32) and I need to have a 2.6.29 Kernel for reasons that relate to my hardware (WiMAX). Is there a way to include this newer kernel (OpenSuse 11.1 comes with a 2.6.27 kernel) during the installation? If not, are there any step-by-step instuctions for updating my kernel after the installation ?
Thank you
see if this has the one you want you will have to add the repo after the install i believe
Index of /repositories/Kernel:/Vanilla/openSUSE_11.1
Yeap, I got the default kernel rpm, but it will not install itself using Yast - it gives me a warning and asks for the OpenSuse 11.1 reinstallation DVD. I will come back with more details.
Whas is a “repo” by the way, and what am I supposed to do with this file ?
Is there any step-by-step instructions on how to update the kernel in OpenSuse 11.1 ?
Thanks

A ‘repo’ is a software repository, also known as an installation source.
Go to Yast: Software: Installation Sources and add it in there, I imagine,
and that may help you.
Good luck.

If adding the repository to Yast is a prerequisite for updating my kernel then I am stuck, because the reason I want to update the kernel is that the default (2.6.27) kernel that comes with the 11.1 distribution does not support my hardware (WiMAX), in other words I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO INTERNET UNDER MY LINUX OS.
Can I still proceed with the kernel update and how ?
Cheers
You could always download the kernel files from your friend etc. to your hard disk (kernel-default-base, kernel-default-extra, kernel-source would also be desirable and kernel syms and kernel headers )

If Havoc65 was trying to get you to get the kernel from that site perhaps
just go there manually (web browser) and find the kernel module you need.
You should be able to install it with ‘rpm’ or ‘zypper’ from the command
line as long as you can get the file to this machine.
Good luck.
