Package: linux-source-2.6.17
Severity: wishlist


Per a recent thread on the Debian-KDE mailing list questioning why the
system seems to stall under heavy processing, it was pointed out that
the Debian kernel builds do not enable the CONFIG_PREEMPT options.  Per
my config file in /boot for 2.6.16-1-686, the following options are 
configured:

CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY is not set
# CONFIG_PREEMPT is not set

On my other machine which has a 2.6.17 K7 kernel there are a couple more
options.

Would it be possible to create desktop kernel image packages with the
CONFIG-PREEMPT options enabled?

For reference, here is the thread:

in the past preemptive managed to trigger a *lot* of bugs
and was thus highly unstable, nowadays as most distros switch
to it we might reconsider at a later base.

this is a duplicate bug report, there are other on this topic
thus closing in this linux-2.6 bug cleanup round.
