You find the RPM's you need for running arla on Suse 9.1 here
Use the lastest of the arla RPMs. If your kernel is not supported by the RPM, you can try to build your own RPM from the SRPM.

Known Issues

• You will also need to install the "heimdal" and "heimdal-lib" packages from SuSE. The easiest way is to search for "heimdal" in YaST and install all of them.
• Arla does not work stabely when the cache partition resides on a filesystem other than ext2 or ext3. As the default file system type is reiserfs, you will probably need to create a new partition with ext2 or ext3. The arla start script checks that your cache partiton mounted at /var/cache/arla is of the correct type. If you know what you are doing, and you want to change that, edit the startup script to fit your needs.
• The SuSE folks did something new when they made the 2.6.5 kernels. You can't build modules against these "as usual" so if you have these kernels installed and build RPMs from the SRPM a new /lib/modules/VERSION/build.arla/ directory will be made from your /lib/modules/VERSION/source/ and /lib/modules/VERSION/build/ directories. You may want to clean up that directory yourself when you are done.
