Jan,
I loaded 2.6.23.1-900.ccj58-default tonight and I ran into a few
problems. Wifi disappeared (madwifi) and there were no drivers built for
the new kernel. That was expected as I was jumping the gun getting the
new kernel.
The big hangup was the ATI fglrx kernel modules. The latest proprietary
driver package would not build modules against the source tree. The
latest driver from ATI used was:
ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run from which I used:
# sh ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg
SuSE/SUSE103-IA32 resulting in the
fglrx_7_1_0_SUSE103-8.42.3-1.i386.rpm. The post install script to build
the modules failed with the following errors. Just wanted to give you a
heads up in case this is an issue:
