# Descriptions of the binary kernel packages. The format is # # === === # Summary (single line) # # Long description (multiple # lines) # # Descriptions of the -base and -extra subpackages are derived from the # main descriptions. === kernel-debug === A Debug Version of the Kernel This kernel has several debug facilities enabled that hurt performance. Only use this kernel when investigating problems. === kernel-default === The Standard Kernel The standard kernel for both uniprocessor and multiprocessor systems. === kernel-legacy === The Legacy Kernel The kernel for both uniprocessor and multiprocessor systems to run on older hardware. It contains support for ISA devices and has the Physical Addressing Extension (PAE) feature disabled. === kernel-kdump === kernel for kdump This kernel is intended for kdump. It can not be booted with a normal bootloader, the kexec tool has to be used to load it. Once the system crashes, the loaded kernel will be started to grab debug info from the crashed kernel. === kernel-ppc64 === Kernel for ppc64 Systems This package contains the kernel for: IBM pSeries 64bit machines IBM iSeries 64bit machines Apple G5 machines Sony Playstation 3 The boot file is /boot/vmlinux. The home page of the ppc64 project is http://www.penguinppc.org/ === kernel-ps3 === kernel for ps3 bootloader This package contains the kernel for the PS3 bootloader. PS3 systems only have 4MB of flash memory for the bootloader, so this kernel needs to be as small as possible and is _not_ meant to be installed in the final system. === kernel-s390 === The Standard Kernel The standard kernel. === kernel-trace === The Realtime Linux Kernel This kernel is compiled for realtime applications. === kernel-vanilla === The Standard Kernel - without any SUSE patches The standard kernel - without any SUSE patches === kernel-xen === The Xen Kernel The Linux kernel for Xen paravirtualization. This kernel can be used both as the domain0 ("xen0") and as an unprivileged ("xenU") kernel.
