It probably would work without doing so, but kernel recompilation 
was on my to-do list anyhow.  It's no big deal, and it yields a 
significantly smaller kernel (if you say "no" to drivers you don't need).

and the kernel is up to 2.6.8.1 .

SuSE patches interfering with it.  Skip them, and use the official source.
