Kernel: Version 2.0.36 with large fds patch

Request:

You would like to run Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) with SuSE Linux 6.0.

Procedure:

You need a patched kernel version which is able to handle a large amount of file descriptors ( >3000 ).

This version can be accessed at http://www.suse.de/en/support/download/updates/informix.html

or downloaded from here .

Install the patched kernel image in the right directory according the settings in /etc/lilo.conf (eg. / or /boot/). For testing the new kernel we strongly recommend to add a new entry in /etc/lilo.conf first. The information how to change and add new entries to /etc/lilo.conf can be found in your SuSE Linux manual or in the LILO howto (file:/usr/doc/howto/mini/LILO.gz)

This kernel replaces and extends only the precompiled kernel version provided by the SuSE Linux 6.0 Standard Installation (default kernel).
