Well I can assign one machine (the a500, being easy to reboot/fix as
it is) to testing kernels, but for a stable kernel suitable for the
machines I'm e.g. assigning to the GCC Compile Farm[0], what would be
a good SMP kernel version to choose? I'm looking for the same level of
hassle-freeness as 2.6.22.19 since these machines are under relatively
heavy load and I cannot afford to tend to their care on a daily basis
;-)
Sorry for the delay in responding. I think assigning the a500 to the
GCC farm
provides good visibility. For GCC, the kernel version doesn't matter
much. The
main issue is stability.
I was wondering if the rp3440 in the ESIEE might be assigned to
running debian
buildd. I believe that the current set of known kernel patches will
make this
machine reasonably stable under medium load. Carlos recently found a
big
bug in the kernel futex code. In any case, I recently successfully
built many
unstable packages on my rp3440.
I would be willing to help getting this going.
