Thank you, I must try that Thomas' kernel-source too, it seems to have lot of intresting patches. Well , you should read cooker or at least the archive. There where a lot of problems that some testers experienced with his first 2.6.0, and now 2.6.1 efforts (latest is 2.6.1-3tmb). They are considered better than the regular cooker 2.6.x's tho. I'm also reading on both cooker and lkml that 2.6.1 is unstable, even more so than 2.6.0. Look here for the changelog http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.1 IMO, 2.6.x won't be ready for (newbie) user or enterprise service until late next summer. I hope I'm wrong, but I suspect I'm not. I believe Mandrake should wait til 10.1, not 10.0 to introduce this drastically new and differnent kernel. Still, in the meantime, sombody needs to be testin it. Guess that's us ;) That could be so, at least for production servers or other complex hardware. To my simple laptop (fujitsu c1020) I have tested 2.6.0 since test2 and after 2.6.0-test5 I haven't experience any real problems. I also have used 2.6.0 with several distros (debian, slackware, fedora) and now mdk9.2. I have always used vanilla source without initrd, only in this mdk's case I merged that supermount-patch to vanilla. I know that 2.6 has bring up some buggy code in many apps for example old kmail when used on reiserfs that andrew mentioned in vger and some chipset has turned out to be buggy too. I have never tried SUSE but heard some rumors they ship their 9.0 with 2.6? -- best rgds ~tt Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Thank you, I must try that Thomas' kernel-source too, it seems to have lot of intresting patches. The only way I'm aware of to get Mandrake kernel patches like supermount is to extract them from a Mandrake kernel src.rpm, and I don't know how compatible they'd be with vanilla kernel.org source. I managed to merge this supermount patch supermount-2.0.3a-2.6.0.patch.gz to vanilla-kernel-2.6.1 with following steps: Extract the kernel vanilla in /usr/src then copy this patch to /usr/src/linux-2.6.1/ extract the patch cd in the directory /usr/src/linux-2.6.1 and there # patch -p1 supermount-2.0.3a-2.6.0 # make mrproper # make # make modules_install # make install Everything else went well but system failed to create initrd.img But I personally don't need it cause I have choosen y not m in ide/ata and /fs which is reiserfs Kernel seems to work well and there is no errors in dmesg -- best rgds ~tt Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
