[gentoo-amd64] Kernel 2.6.25
Just out of curiosity, what's taking so long with releasing the .25 kernel to stable? I don't recall any kernel before taking this long to be released. -- Libenter homines id quod volunt credunt -- Caius Julius Caesar Mark Haney Sr. Systems Administrator ERC Broadband (828) 350-2415 Call (866) ERC-7110 for after hours support -- gentoo-amd64@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

I don't always go with ~amd64 just because I don't think about it. -- Libenter homines id quod volunt credunt -- Caius Julius Caesar Mark Haney Sr. Systems Administrator ERC Broadband (828) 350-2415 Call (866) ERC-7110 for after hours support -- gentoo-amd64@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

There were at least some major VMware issues. I don't know what else. But yeah, Fedora and OpenSUSE both shipped with 2.6.25. -- gentoo-amd64@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

With a 2.6.25 kernel and linux-headers-2.6.25, vmware-server wasn't happy. More precisely, attempts to load vmnet.ko (for example using 'modprobe vmnet.ko') would log the following: vmnet: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module in /var/log/messages. This occurred even with rebuilds of the kernel and the module. Since switching to 2.6.24 (with 2.6.25's .config file as the basis of the 2.6.24 .config file), all has been fine.
