Yes Mikkel, been doing that for years, probably from about 2 weeks after I
installed RH5.1 all those years ago. I tried the fedora kernel again as a
test for something about 2 weeks ago, the test still failed and its scheduler
is _still_ broken. Pauses as long as 5 seconds while it does something else.
It got better early in the 2.6.26-rc series and has stayed good. I usually
build and install it about as quick as I see the notice from Linus of a
new -rcX patch on lkml.
I wrote a couple of scripts to unpack and apply the patches and do the 'make
oldconfig' (from the previous kernels .config), and another to do the build
and install, leaving me with 2 minute session with vim to setup grub.conf and
reboot. Simple, painless, & maintains my local configuration choices.
Highly recommended by Dr. Gene. :)
