</div>This probably a capture of my posting to this list.<br>
<br>
While I can boot this kernel and SOMETIMES not have it kill ide1, and also<br>
have the nvidia driver built, I cannot claim to have used it yet. Not saying<br>
definitely no, but just not yet. Previous builds of this kernel have caused<br>
serious disk problems (though no data loss or permanent damage, just a holy<br>
pain in the ...). I cannot let my self run it and try audio work until I can<br>
solve the problems and know it is safe. 2.6.27 might be around first.</blockquote><div><br>Ok, your problems are video/ide related.<br><br>Googling around I found several posts about the 2.6.26 kernel and the preemption, big kernel locking stuffs (eg. <b><a href="http://lwn.net/Articles/282319/">http://lwn.net/Articles/282319/</a></b>)<br>
<br>Far from being a linux guru nor a kernel or C skilled programmer one I understand there's something in the new stable release that involves RT_PREEMPT code so I just wanted to know what all those things meant for us poor end users.<br>
<br>Do we finally have to switch back to 2.6.24? I also saw Ingo Molnar's rt patch for 2.6.24 has been updated on 13th september (<a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/">http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/</a>) and argued that 2.6.24 is actually the preferred choice for RT tasks...<br>
