=== 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-desktop ===
|
|
Kernel optimized for the desktop
|
|
|
|
This kernel is optimized for the desktop. It is configured for lower latency
|
|
and has many of the features that aren't usually used on desktop machines
|
|
disabled.
|
|
|
|
This kernel supports up to 64GB of main memory. It requires Physical
|
|
Addressing Extensions (PAE), which were introduced with the Pentium Pro
|
|
processor.
|
|
|
|
PAE is not only more physical address space but also important for the
|
|
"no execute" feature which disables execution of code that is marked as
|
|
non-executable. Therefore, the PAE kernel should be used on any systems
|
|
that support it, regardless of the amount of main memory.
|
|
|
|
=== 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-pae ===
|
|
Kernel with PAE Support
|
|
|
|
This kernel supports up to 64GB of main memory. It requires Physical
|
|
Addressing Extensions (PAE), which were introduced with the Pentium Pro
|
|
processor.
|
|
|
|
PAE is not only more physical address space but also important for the
|
|
"no execute" feature which disables execution of code that is marked as
|
|
non-executable. Therefore, the PAE kernel should be used on any systems
|
|
that support it, regardless of the amount of main memory.

|
=== 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.
