Hi!
Probably I was sitting in userland too much lately because even after
reading those articles floating around about new kernel features I find
it hard to practically compose a kernel which would be really useful.
Or at least to decide whether I should use 2.4 or 2.5/2.6 kernles?
Or just wait a month for 2.6 which would have all this? (will it?)
My workstation is typical old AMD k6-2 machine w/ IDE disk, NVidia
Riva TNT2, Realtek 100mbit card (for pppoe connection) and SB Live!
with current unstable running on it.
The set of features I'd need is this:
* LVM compatible (all my partitions are ReiserFS and besides root
- they're all on LVM)
* Suspend to disk (swsusp? I'd want to be able to turn on my machine
in the morning just to find all the things that I was doing yesterday)
* Working w/ NVidia Riva TnT2 (not necessarily w/ closed source drivers
but it'd be nice to know that it's possible)
* Interactivity stuff (low-latency and/or preemtive kernel and/or those
disk schedulers or whatever)
* ALSA (to finally get MIDI working on my emu10k)
I know that each of this things separately is possible but I've read
that there can be conflicts between patches and so on. So - I'd be
most thankful for ideas backed w/ some expierience (not necessarily)
or good information sources.
Maybe you had composed similar kernel for yourself?
Thanks in advance

PS: Please Cc: me on replies if you may. If not - I'll read the
anwers via the web archive - no problem with that.
