2.6.6 kernel?

[Geibel, Jonathan]

Anyone know if a 2.6.6 kernel is being considered for a future FC2 (or 
FC3?) release and if so, when?

There are already 2.6.6 series kernels available via FC2 Testing
Updates.

See here:

or your local mirror.

That's OK.  My body was already twitching uncontrollably as I hit the
'send' button. A definite Pavlovian response...

So how do I get the testing stuff in up2date?  Change the yum repositories?

For up2date, you have to change /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources.  My entry
is:

yum UMN-updates-testing
ftp://ftp.software.umn.edu/pub/linux/fedora/core/updates/testing/2/i386

The above will line wrap, but it should be on a single line in the file
with a space between the '...testing' and 'ftp...'

Otherwise, for yum, you edit /etc/yum.conf. For me it is:

[UMN-updates-testing]
name=UMN Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Unreleased Updates
baseurl=ftp://ftp.software.umn.edu/pub/linux/fedora/core/updates/testing/...


I am in Minneapolis, so just adjust it for whatever mirror you are (or
should be) using.

HTH,

With 4K stacks, perchance?

Yeah, RH people have said it is 4K stacks from now on.  If you want to use the 
nVidia binary, roll your own kernel or get kernels from someone who did it 
for you.   And don't forget to complain to nVidia if it is bothering you.

Or... use the (very decent) opensource nv driver, which is what I am doing.

Does 'nv' offer 3D acceleration yet?

What's all this 4k/8k stack issue about, anyway? I haven't taken the time to
read up on it yet.

I stand to be corrected, but I have not seen anything to indicate that
the stack size has been changed from 4k in these kernels.

The only kernels with 8k stacks that I am aware of (other than 'home
grown') are the ones that Linuxant is offering as a temporary solution
for the NVidia issue at:

FC2 relese kernel 2.6.5-1.358 has stuff from 2.6.6-rc3-bk1 (which is
pretty close to 2.6.6)

And there are testing kernels at rawhide and
http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.6/RPMS.kernel which work with FC2.

The latest one is kernel-2.6.6-1.421 which has - 2.6.7-rc2. There is
likely to be an updated kernel for FC2 from one of the testing
versions.
