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?
