at the risk of being perhaps a little too far out there on the bleeding edge, i'm thinking of dumping the 2.6.0-test1 kernel on my severn system today, just to push the boundaries.
in addition, what are the implications of upgrading to gcc 3.3? and what other RPMs would have to go along with that to have a usable system?
just feeling the need ... the need for speed
I upgraded to the 2.6.0-test1 and I had a very annoying issue with USB not working. I ended up tracking it down to a change in the name of the USB1 module. I also had to take settings from /etc/modules.conf to /etc/modprobe.conf This was especially annoying since I use a USB keyboard and USB mouse. I do have USB legacy support turned on in the bios, but the USB keyboard didn't work till I plugged in a PS/2 keyboard. The really funny thing was I would hit numlock on the USB keyboard and it would change the led on the PS/2 keyboard.
On the same topic USB keyboard and mouse support need to be compiled in like PS/2 support. Loading USB modules in rc.sysinit a very poor substitute. Grub also needs native USB support. Currently it only works with USB legacy support turned on in the bios.
