I want to upgrade the kernel from the default 3.XX to kernel 4.5.
zypper says i’m missing openssl, niether zypper or anywhere in web did i find this missing package.
when tried to manually compile kernel again following dependencies led me to a depricated package…
thanks!
Are you referring to SLED 12 SP1, which would be pretty new, vs. openSUSE
12.1, which is really old?
In the latter case, no way, just upgrade. Sure, you may be able to pull
it off, but it’d be crazy.
In the former case, you realize that one of the benefits of Enterprise
(SUSE Linux Enterprise) software is support, and that compiling your own
kernel will void that support, right? It may not be too bad to do, but
you’d probably be better-off going with openSUSE Leap 42.1 which has a
latern kernel and otherwise a lot of the same base software as SLE 12 SP1.
Another reason for Enterprise software is stability, and 4.5 is relatively
new. As a result, and as a reminder, compiling your own kernel negates
that benefit, which may be another reason to go look at the openSUSE
software which is already on a newer kernel and is implied to be a little
more bleeding-edge, though looking at the Tumbleweed build (which is a
rolling release distribution) may be more applicable if you really want
the very latest of something (vs. Leap, which is a more-traditional release).

Good luck.

hey ab,
Thanks a lot for your replay which makes a lot of sense for plain use purposes.
(I was talking about SLED 12 SP1).
The reason I want to update the kernel is testing a product (Kernel object and deamon) on SUSE.
(which should simulate how our product react in future versions of SUSE).

I’d probably look at Leap then, which has a newer kernel along with the
SLE base.
Also, I just read this and found it interesting, though it’s about
Tumbleweed: http://rootco.de/2016-03-28-why-use-tumbleweed/
