I haven't found the kotd for OpenSuse 10.1 86_64 anywhere.  I need to update the sky2 ethernet module to test for reliability.  I can't use the sky2 module in the current 10.1 kernel as it has bugs and locks up after a small amount of traffic.

Dow,

I believe the 10.1 kernel is post 2.6.14 so any of the current
opensuse kernels should be compatible.  (Pre-2.6.14 kernels have an
incompatible implementation of udev.  You can upgrade, but you have to
also upgrade the udev subsystem.)

If I were you I would consider the following in order of quality:
10.2 kernel
Current opensuse Factory Kernel (Similar to a Fedora RC kernel)
kotd
