Lars, thanks for the answer, and excuses for the stupid questions (at least, some of you seem to think so). Your last tip worked out fine. I did the kernel-update via YAST, unpacked drbd-0.7.0.tar.gz, cd'd into drbd-0.7.0/ directory, typed 'make' and 'make install' and that was it. Thanks for the help!
