Congrats! My experiances so far have been very positive (Ofcource only after
patching modutils and changing the initscripts and modules.conf). You got
all your kernel messages and consoles working to? Seems to be the trickiest
part for a lot of ppl
I've used 2.5.x with patched nvidia drivers, and the results are nothing
short of amazing. The whole system feels a lot faster and more responsive
with the kernel improvements & fast drivers. Definatly makes you hope that
the future will be here soon! ;-)
I've done CD & DVD burning, watched movies on my tv via nvidia's svideo out,
done heavy disk & network io, etc without a single glitch so far (ok, one or
two crashes, but thats to be expected w/ experimental kernels). So i would
hope your experiances will be the same.. Lets us know how it works out ok?
(ps, have you upgraded your rpm version? the db locking will screw up with
rh 9's version when used with a 2.5 kernel. Otherwise a workaround is
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 rpm..)
Ps, Can anyone comment on how native posix threads w/ the 2.5 kernel series
perform? Same better or worse then rh's 2.4 kernel?
