I think it would be a neat idea if you share your experiences with the kernel development team, maybe you can help them out this way to troubleshoot the kernel ;)
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...
