Development kernel 2.6.0-test5 released Posted Sep 9, 2003 11:48 UTC (Tue) by dmaxwell (guest, #14010) [Link] 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.
Development kernel 2.6.0-test5 released Posted Sep 10, 2003 3:27 UTC (Wed) by subhasroy (guest, #325) [Link] I think 2.6.0 will be released in April 2004.
2.6.0 release Posted Sep 9, 2003 13:42 UTC (Tue) by corbet (editor, #1) [Link] 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.
Development kernel 2.6.0-test5 released Posted Sep 9, 2003 23:42 UTC (Tue) by yodermk (subscriber, #3803) [Link] I just tried it -- my first experience with a Linux development kernel!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.
Development kernel 2.6.0-test5 released Posted Sep 10, 2003 7:20 UTC (Wed) by wolfrider (guest, #3105) [Link] --I just had my 1st experience with a development kernel running: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.
Development kernel 2.6.0-test5 released Posted Sep 10, 2003 7:24 UTC (Wed) by wolfrider (guest, #3105) [Link] 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.
