My ethernet doesn't appear to work. I have a 3Com 905B card and the DHCP request hangs. Works fine in 2.4.20. I searched LKML and others have had the problem. There were a few other little things that weren't quite right also, so I'm guessing that it will take some time to be truly ready. I'll keep trying it though.

o Vmware Workstation 3.x running under Linux :) --You can find my notes here: --The biggest problem was the Knoppix INIT going into PANIC mode. Downgrading sysvinit pkg solved it.

Best place for VMware module patches I've found (from reading their internal newsgroups) is here:
ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware/ Latest patch level is 39, not sure if it works with 2.6.0-testX kernels or not. HTH. Clemmitt
Does anyone yet have a gut feeling as to how this release is feeling?Development kernel 2.6.0-test5 released
i.e. How close to 2.6.0 we might be? e.g. which is more likely:
a 2003 or a 2004 release?
From past experience, I would say the release happens late this year or early next year. It will then take until this summer for the new kernel to get over it's teething troubles. Some flaws just won't be apparent until the number of users hit the 100ks or 1Ms.

I think 2.6.0 will be released in April 2004.

Do remember that some things - large dev_t in particular - have not gone in yet. That, alone, is going to take some serious testing. A 2003 release could maybe happen, but I'm not convinced it would be a good idea.

Even running under VMware, X windows interactivity is markedly improved, and a lot of the ' make menuconfig ' menu structure has changed. That's what I've noticed so far.Development kernel 2.6.0-test5 released
test5 boots now. Previously, test4 would not find my root device. VMWare modules don't compile, but there may be a patch yet on the web. Also, the atmel wireless drivers don't compile.Development kernel 2.6.0-test5 released

You could try the alternative atmel wireless drivers - at76c503a.berlios.de - they compile on 2.6 kernels :)

forgot to mention, that it is only the cvs 2.6 branch that compiles.Development kernel 2.6.0-test5 released
(hit return on the prompt)
$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.berlios.de:/cvsroot/at76c503a co at76c503a
$ cd at76c503a
$ cvs up -r kernel_2_6
It's not an alternative. The driver on berlios.de is for USB, the driver in the kernel is for PCMCIA only.
