How to retrieve RPM packages from old SLES repos

SUSE Product Topics SLES Configure-Administer

Hi,

I need to retrieve some kernel-source RPM packages (for versions
2.6.32-13, 2.6.32-59-0.7, 3.0.38-0.5 for both i586 and x86_64 archs.

I’ve tried to use zypper from a registered SLES11 system but I’ve
been unsuccessful so far to retrieve packages. I’ve been able only to
install the latest kernel-source package but I need the RPM file for
different versions.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried the Patch Finer site on Novell’s download site?

Choose ‘SUSE Linux Enterprise Server’ from the product drop-down, then
type ‘kernel’ in the bottom search box, then click 'search. Expand the
section for SLES 11 SP1 and sea a bunch of packages, including multiple
kernels.

Good luck.
