hello
can redhat 9 be used with kernel 2.5.x from kernel.org
Yes, you can. In fact, I'm doing that right now :-)
i am thinking about loading it on a machine to check it out. never used a beta kernel before ?
Then, maybe you should think about twice ;-) There are still problems, rough edges, and so on.
could i start with a .config from rh9 and do 'make oldconfig' ?
Mostly, yes. There are things that have changed, like input support, for example. You'll also need latest modutils from RawHide (or from Rusty Russell at kernel.org).
What version of cdrecord should you use with the 2.5 kernel? Someone on the local list got me up and running with the 2.5 kernel. I haven't compiled one since 2.5.68 - It worked alright with other drive devices. It complained about the version of cd record being lacking for use with the 2.5 kernel. Will the frontend GUIs work with the newer kernel? (cdrecord and gtoaster)
Thanks for your help also. Rusty has some very functional modutils.
Is the rawhide version good enough to use with the 2.5 kernel?
