Well, so far I'm less than impressed with 2.6.0-test2. Specifically,
although I have installed both the source and run several compiles, as
well as the pre-compiled kernel-image version, I have yet to get a
running and working 2.6.0.
The precompiled package in testing doesn't work at all; after numerous
error messages during the boot (which go by so fast I cannot see them
all), followed by a bunch of failures trying to load lvm_mod (don't know
why), the system panics after trying to kill the init process. Not
impressive.
My own compiled version gets farther, but after a mess of dma errors on
/dev/hda6 (don't get that running 2.4.22), staring KDE fails and I am
dumped back to a login prompt in the console. From what I can see, there
are a lot of usb errors. Again, don't know why, becaue the keyboard
doesn't work so I cannot log in and check dmesg.
I'm wondering if anyone has gotten 2.6.0-test2 compiled and runnign at
all and has any pointers? I've read what I can online, fixed the
pitfalls noted (for instance, since CONFIG_VT, CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE, etc
must be compiled in and not modules, you'd think the config scripts
would tell you that) but not yet making progress.
Oh well, another config and another try tonight...
