My production distro is a Planet CCRMA RH 9 installation. I also
have an installation of FC2 that I use for graphics and will
eventually be migrating to. For me, using FC2 and the 2.6 kernels
is edgy enough -- I don't have enough knowledge and experience to be
much use as a beta tester.
With those caveats in mind, is there a particular 2.6 kernel that
would be better than either 1) the kernel that was shipped with my
FC2 disks, or 2) the most recently released kernel (2.6.8-1.521)?
I have released a couple of "experimental" 2.6.8+ kernels that include
the voluntary preemption patches by Ingo Molnar. They are getting
better all the time. You could try them in your FC2 box by following
the instructions here (if you have already installed Planet CCRMA in
your FC2 box, of course):
Are the .src rpms for these builds available in the Planet's site? I
looked for them but could not see. I want to recompile and try this
kernel on another rpm based distro...
