Are there instructions on recompiling the kernel? The distribution came with the optimized for desktop kernel and I would like to know what options were used for this so that I can more/less duplicate. The reason I am asking is because I am trying to install some software and it is telling me that the source I have does not match my kernel, which is not possible since I installed the source with the optimized kernel. So, I am hoping a recompile will straighten some of this nonsense out.
Does that make some kind of sense?
Thanks,
Craigbert
Yast > Software > Software Management
Please make sure you have installed the ‘base-development’ pattern
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10573557/Add%20Patterns/add-pattern-base-devel.jpeg
That is a kde UI
If you use gnome it looks a little different
Then run Yast > Software > Online Update
You may also need this package: linux-glibc-devel

I might also add that a bash script exits that can help you compile a kernel which can be found here in message #62 of the following message thread:
S.A.K.C. - SUSE Automated Kernel Compiler - Version 2.00
Thank You,
An alternative is to install the kernel development pattern (it may install
more than the OP needs).

/proc/config.gz
and somewhere I don’t remember.

Do:
cd /usr/src/linux
make cloneconfig && make scripts && make prepare
Then your sources will match the running kernel.
