  1. What else do you need beside the kernel? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What support tools need to be upgraded? I assume modutils. Which version of GCC is needed? What about stuff like ip_tables, are any changes needed? Maybe someone could post a quick summary of the "gotchas".

      This is rather like downloading Windows Longhorn and wondering what preparations you might need.

      Or rather, it's like compiling Windows Longhorn specifically for your system.

      And personally... I like Linux being "by nerds for nerds," although more and more non-nerds are turning to it. If you're going to troll, at least get it right.

  2. AIRO driver still sucks by ywwg · · Score: 1, Interesting

    The airo driver (for cisco wireless cards) still causes kernel panics. Hopefully this card will become usable at some point. For now it's a process of:

    1. compile 2.6-testX
    2. reboot
    3. crash within 5 minutes
    4. reboot, notice dataloss
    5. restore affected files from backup.

    This is the third test, and the third time through!

  3. Hard lockup problem? by Laven · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have been using Arjan's 2.6 kernel RPMS from here. test1 was working fine, but test2 and test3 have this mysterious hard lockup problem after a few hours of uptime and moderate CPU load. Has anyone seen this problem? Already known reported bug?
