Hmm, well, it's only 5 patches which actually touch that area, but partly they are big and complex :-/ Sneaking in a small obviouslycorrect[tm] fix isn't a big issue, but thats a bit too much. > This is to much for me, as I am no kernel hacker.

The releases usually never ever get a new kernel version, so a 2.6.10 update for 9.2 isn't going to happen. We are already working on the kernel for the next release though, you can fetch experimental rpms from http://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/i386/HEAD/ and give them a try. They are 2.6.10 based.
