Low Latency Kernel for openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 - please help

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello, List

Until recently I have been running SUSE 9.3 x86_64 with a self-compiled 
realtime kernel (using the realtime-lsm).  I have now upgraded to openSUSE 
10.2 because I was having difficulties installing the latest versions of 
certain applications.

I'm very happy with the distribution generally, but I'd now like to get my 
audio performance back to what it was.  Via the installation and set-up forum 
at jacklab, I have been directed to realtime kernel, kernel-source and PAM 
packages for x86_64 at:
 
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/appleonkel/openSUSE_10.2/x86_64/

Have downloaded the packages but have not yet installed them.  Unfortunately 
the thread dried up before it answered my supplementary questions.

Firstly I noticed that the kernel and kernel-source packages have different 
release numbers.  Does this matter?  I need to compile the nvidia driver to 
get X back after the install.
  kernel-rt-2.6.19.1-4.1.x86_64.rpm
  kernel-source-2.6.19.1-3.1.x86_64.rpm

The other point I'm confused on is how to safely install the RPM.  Is it 
really as simple as rpm -Uvh or are there other steps.  Does installing the 
new kernel wipe out the old one, or will it install alongside the default 
one?
