Kernel Upgrade in ViciBox Install

[joako]

Is it ok to do a kernel upgrade in the ViciBox install? I've installed the disc and then imported/upgraded the database from an older version. Everything is working fine but I need to install vmware tools. When I attempt to install kernel-default-source it is trying to upgrade the kernel to the newest revision and I just wanted to make sure this was safe or if there is some kernel module hand built against the exact kernel version shipped with ViciBox.

Only problem I had was the need to recompile wanpipe after a kernel upgrade.
On boot I got this: "Loading WAN drivers: wanpipe FATAL: Module wanpipe not found."
and fixed it doing this:
zypper source-install libpri dahdi dahdi-linux asterisk-vici wanpipe
cd /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/
tar xvf dahdi-linux-2*
cd dahdi-linux-2*
make
make install

[edit - added "dahdi-linux" because it was probably renamed from dahdi]

So I knew something seemed off! I never added the updates repository only the oss and non-oss. I added the repository and lo and behold I can get the devel for the currently installed kernel.

# yast2 repositories

The following NEW packages are going to be installed:

# vmware-config-tools.pl

... And everything goes as expected

I had the same issue and this fixed it but I had to change the dahdi package name from dahdi to dahdi-linux.

The following is what I had to use as of 09/12/2012 after doing a zypper update to get my dahdi working again.

zypper source-install libpri dahdi-linux asterisk-vici wanpipe
cd /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/
tar xvf dahdi-linux-*
cd dahdi-linux-*
make
make install

Hope this helps someone!
