Kernel 2.6.0-test1 released

I've got a Teac CD burner. I've burned CDs with it in older dev kernels but from ~2.5.75 onwards I've had this problem. I'm working on getting ATAPI CD-burning working on the 2.6 kernel and it seems to be burning sucessfully. Strangely I saw a reply to my email on the lkml stating that SCSI support is broken in the 2.6 kernel, but I've seen several people claim they've burned CDs on a 2.6 kernel so maybe its just broken with my hardware...

Or maybe I just didn't reboot after I built 2.6-test...

it's been a hectic couple weeks. *shrug*

This is a test kernel and feedback is wanted, so here are my overviews:

good:
1) Built in alsa drivers work great for me (itel8x0)
2) nvidia glx and kernel compilied fine and seem to be working prettifully
3) everything just seems faster and better and more efficient

bad:
1) no system bell; you know that little "beep" when you use tab-completion or try to backspace in xterm/konsole when you can't backspace anymore
2) winex3.1 doesn't seem to have cd-protection scanning working (already posted this in the gaming forum https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=68618)

ugly:
1) kde bug- my trashcan icon on my desktop says there's stuff in it, but there's not

.

Basically, hats off to all the developers; I'm learning fast and hope someday to be one of you and give back to such great software! My system's been up for nearly 24 hours and there's no problems yet

. I'm in awe!

i have the problem where when the kernel loads i get a blank screen. i cant attempt to try the fixes at codemonkey.org.uk because its down

any ideas?

and do the ati-drivers work with 2.6.0-test1? i heard some no's but it might have been fixed.

i just want to get 2.6, ati-drivers, alsa, and some good framebufferness working before the day ends :cry:

One thing that's very annoying is that if I have machine check exception enabled in the kernel (which it is by default), the pc will freeze after 30 seconds when compiling, giving me a cpu context corrupt error.

The 2.4 kernel works fine with machine check exception enabled. And I have no problems with it disabled in 2.5/2.6. But I guess I'll never be able to install a distro with a 2.6 kernel because machine check exception is over-sensitive

the new kernel seems TOTALLY sweet, but I can't use it because of stupid the stupid isdn is broken. and it has been since early 2.5. nobody seems to fix it either.

kstat_per_cpu thingy.... :(

btw. thanks for getting my pc-speaker back on track :)

edit: I would loooooove to have bootsplash support too.

Has anyone applied ck's O6-O7 patches on test1-mm2 yet? I can't get them to apply, but they applied fine to test1-mm1.

Still haven't been able to apply the softrr patch on top of O7 on mm1 either.

mm2 root file system fix

the problem is not the fs
just try to pass different root options @ boot

root=0307 (instead of root=/dev/hda7 for me)
03 is /dev/hda
07 is partition number

ok I turned off the frame buffer and now I get a kernel panic attempted to kill init.

let me get details about it

EDIT: hmm i didnt check the link to /usr/src/linux-beta when i emerged 2.6.0-test1. i was still trying 2.5.75

let me try the new kernel :oops:

just use auto mount instead of super mount

btw, ide-scsi burning works fine here(mm1+o7)

and, if I use mm2, which boot parameter should I use,
my / is at /dev/hdc1

ValKov: just make sure you're on ~x86 and emerge nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx.
