I think I'll wait until 2.6.0 proper is released before I try that.. I don't really think that my problem is related to that anyway. My fstab is kinda messed.. Everything gets mounted correctly but it generates a lot of errors on boot.. So I'm thinking devfs may not be able to handle the errors as gracefully. I'll fix that first.. ~leo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It seems the debian package is a little borked for me.. Its spits out a bunch of messages about /dev/root2 not being a device and then can't open /dev/console at which point it panics.. Apparently devfs is a little confused. I'll read up on how to set that up properly.. Can't wait to be running this kernel. It sounds very promising. ~leo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Leo, * Leo Spalteholz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2003-Jul-22 07:42 AKDT]: > Anyone have experience wrt the reliability of this test kernel? I've been running 2.6.0-test1 (custom compiled by me for my hardware) for 8 days on my workstation. It does a fair amount of http / php / mysql stuff, as well as handling my daily tasks. No problems (knock wood) so far, and it's interactivity during heavy disk usage is much better than 2.4.xx. Can't say anything about the Debian package or grub since I don't use either.

Kernel image 2.6.0 test
Hi, I was just wondering if it is considered fairly safe to install the new kernel-image-2.6.0-test1-1-386 package in unstable.. I'd really like to help test the new kernel but I don't really have the time to rebuild my system if it screws up. If I install the 2.6.0 test kernel can it be added to grub just like any other kernel image so I can boot back into my 2.4.20 kernel if it turns out not to work? Anyone have experience wrt the reliability of this test kernel? Thanx, leo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
