I'm in a similar situation, although with SCore 4.2.1.

Maybe trying to adapt the SCore 5.4 kernel patches to the newer SuSE 
kernels... This might be a lot of fun or lost hair, depending on 
perspective :-)

Yes, I wonder about this as well. May I suggest to the SCore developers to
make available a kernel patch also for RedHat Enterprise Linux ? (that is
if they don't consider basing the new SCore release entirely on RHEL). The
kernel source code is available for free as SRPM from all RH mirrors.
