To get some extra testing for the upcoming 2.6.18 release,
I've made some kernels based on 2.6.18rc7git2
You can find them at http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC5/
Please file bugs in bugzilla against FC5, even though these
kernels are somewhat similar to whats in rawhide right now.
Known 'problems':
- For the time being, there aren't any Xen kernels, this will
be fixed up when time comes for a real update.
- They currently have a bunch of extra debugging options turned
on so may 'feel' a little slower than the current FC5 kernels.
This too, will be fixed.
- They'll output a lot more text to the console during boot
than FC5. Like rawhide, the 'quiet' option has been disabled
in order to ease debugging. (It's a lot easier to ask someone
what the last thing on the screen is than to walk people through
removing the quiet option a hundred times)
These caveats aside, it seems to have survived my tests for the last
day, so it's time for some wider testing.
Thanks,
Dave
