There are indeed changes in the SuSE kernels, mainly additional drivers
(which are not contained in the mainstream kernel) as well as newer
drivers and last-minute bugfixes. It is very well possible that some small
things need to be patched by hand for the thing to succeed.

Anyway, we're working on integrating the kerneli patches to our
distribution kernel.


Thanks,
Roman.
