Hi Everyone

I'm doing some work on this distro for a Point Of Sale system. I have SLED 11 SP1, but some of the IBM drivers I need only supports SLED 11 without SP1. Can anyone provide me with a copy or download link?

I already have the SP1 iso from Novell's site, but it is pretty useless to me at this point. I'm in the JHB area.

TIA

Does SUSE LE not provide support? I was under the impression that they do on that product as opposed to OpenSuse.

On the OS itself yes, but we have some exotic IBM hardware, and IBM only support very specific versions :(

Without manufacturers support you're pretty much stuffed.

Have you tried emailing IBM and Suse and also can you get the source code for the drivers? Another option is to try downgrading the Kernel to sled11's version.

Woohoo. IBM was finally able to provide some SP1 drivers. Thanks anyway!
