Bug#307312: kernel-image-2.6.11-9-amd64-k8: please compile with PREEMPT support

[Laurent.Bonnaud@inpg.fr]

Package: kernel-image-2.6.11-9-amd64-k8
Version: 2.6.11-2
Severity: wishlist


Hi,

PREEMPT is disabled in the latest available kernel:

$ grep PREEMPT /boot/config-2.6.11-9-amd64-k8
# CONFIG_PREEMPT is not set

whereas it is (at least it was) enabled in i686 kernels.  If there is
no good reason to disable it, please enable it.  Otherwise it would be
useful to have a note in README.Debian explaining why.
