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...
