=== 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.
