Anyone with experience with 2.6.31 yet? Anything we need to know?
What's the consensus?
I compiled my own 2.6.31-rc6 on Aug. 18. Out of over a dozen boots, I
experienced:
- a couple of hangs during boot
- some hangs logging out and logging in as a different user
(in X, not virtual terminals)
- a stack trace during shutdown (at least once)
- some (apparently) harmless errors during boot.
Between then and now http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net has gone
away, but I did download the mainline git tree from kernel.org and built
the 2.6.31 when it was released. I've been running it since Sep. 9, and
have experienced:
- no hangs
- no errors or warnings during boot
- no stack traces during shutdown
In short, it looks very good. I am using a very carefully customized
.config file, however, and no experimental/unstable features such as KMS
(kernel mode setting). I hope to pick up a new ATI card in the next
month or two, and will probably experiment with KMS then.
HTH,
