This directory contains unofficial RPM's of 2.6-test kernels for Red Hat
Linux 9 and Rawhide. Don't expect 2.6-test to be a completely polished
drop-in; it's very much a work in progress although several people report
success already. The rpms get updated regularly, depending on bugs fixed and
how often Linus merges patches and makes releases.
Updates
-------
Jul 30: Finally back from OLS; -test2
Known to currently not work
---------------------------
* LVM
Known quirks
------------
* XFree86 vs AGP
The kernel agp modules got split into per chipset modules; the auto-load
mechanism of XFree86 in RHL9 isn't yet adjusted to this split. You can get
it to work by hand by doing a "modprobe intel-agp" (if you have an intel
chipset of course) before starting X.
Reporting bugs
--------------
Please file packaging, configuration etc etc bugs into bugzilla.redhat.com.
Kernel oopses and such are probably best filed directly in the kernel.org
bugzilla: http://bugzilla.kernel.org
Installing
----------
download the rpm's (pick the proper kernel rpm for your cpu) and only use
rpm -i. For the helper packages use rpm -U
apt-get
-------
the kernel rpms are available via apt-get; add the following lines to
your /etc/apt/sources.list file :
# Arjan's 2.6 series kernel repository
rpm http://people.redhat.com arjanv/2.5 kernel
rpm-src http://people.redhat.com arjanv/2.5 kernel
yum
---
Those of us with yum can add the following to /etc/yum.conf:
[2.6testkernels]
name=Test Linux 2.6-test prerelease kernels for RHL9/rawhide
baseurl=http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.5/
