Thanks for the response and the help.
I've been in flame wars for nearly a decade now and I doubt that any troll
will discourage me from trying to get good information. Two things I've
learned about mailing lists over the years:
First: Not all posters are equally knowledgable and a good background is the
first step to deciphering good information from good intentioned background
noise.
Secondly: There is always someone somewhere ready to make an unproductive and
obnoxious comment. Its best not to feed the trolls.
As for the comment, that would be great advise, unfortunely I blew away the
old kernels source code in order to make room for the new kernel. So this
very good recommendation is a day late and a dollar shot. However, if you
have a .config file and email it to me as an attachment, I'd apreciate it.
One of the advantages, however, of doing a new kernel is to pair this kernel
down. SuSE is a kitchen sink :)

You must be a stupid engineer then, because politcs and technology have been attached at the hip since the 1st dynasty in Ancient Egypt. I guess you missed that one."
