SUSE Enterprise Linux Server 15 SP6SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP6 has been updated to use a version 6 kernel as well as updating libraries to function with newer binaries. These updates require the use of edgelx60_64.elf,(Changing from the edgelx40_64). New installations should use the edgelx60_64.elf and existing installations should download and install the edgelx60_64.elf over the existing edgelx40_64 product. SUSE Enterprise Linux Server 15 SP2The original default kernel shipped with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP2 installations had a flaw. Please install normal updates to get to kernel 5.3.18-22 or later before attempting to make and rely on RecoverEDGE media. SLES 15 SP1 uses the Linux 4.x kernel, and the Linux 5.x kernel is used in SLES 15 SP2 and later. However, you must install the Linux 4.x kernel distribution of BackupEDGE (edgelx40_64) for use with all versions of this operating system. This will show a warning message which you may acknowledge and safely ignore.
