Package: kernel Version: 2.6.11-3 Severity: wishlist
Hi, until version 2.6.10, kernels were built with PREEMPT enabled. This has changed in version 2.6.11-2: kernel-image-2.6.11-i386 (2.6.11-2) unstable; urgency=low [...] * Disable CONFIG_PREEMPT (Andres Salomon). $ grep PREEMPT /boot/config-2.6.11-1-686 # CONFIG_PREEMPT is not set Since the changelog entry does not tell why this change was made, I'm wondering. I'm running numerous machines with standard Debian kernels and never found any problem with PREEMPT. So could you please: - either re-enable PREEMPT - or document why it has been disabled (in README.Debian for example) ? -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-1-686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages kernel-image-2.6.11-1-686 depends on: ii coreutils [fileutils] 5.2.1-2 The GNU core utilities ii fileutils 5.2.1-2 The GNU file management utilities ii initrd-tools 0.1.78 tools to create initrd image for p ii module-init-tools 3.2-pre1-2 tools for managing Linux kernel mo -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
