    hdparm did show me that they were at 16 bit, changed that.  Do not LIKE M$,
but it is hard to say no to MONEY. <g>

Using the Suse 9.0 pro here, I would like to upgrade my kernel here. If I follow
the RED Hat on the steps, will that do it just fine for Suse?

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all
