The bulk of the diff by far is various architecture updates, and in
particular bringing MIPS[64] a bit closer to being up-to-date for 2.6.x
But there's arm, alpha, h8300 and ia64 updates too.
Merging the SELinux security architecture also ends up growing the patch,
even though it may not be all that noticeable for most normal users.
For most x86 users, the CPU frequency updates, network driver updates, and
some USB updates are most likely to matter.
And this should fix the PCMCIA lock-up that a number of people have seen
happening since 2.5.71 or so. Thanks for people involved in testing and
fixing that one.
Also, Andrew fixed a read-ahead bug that was introduced in test2 that
could cause (non-readahead) IO failures under load.
Shortlog follows, full details in the BK trees and in the log on the
ftp/web sites.

|
|
| I have seen how mplayer uses more CPU with 2.6.0-testX than with 2.4.X kernel. I have the same configuration (xv, nvidia drivers, agpart, 2D accel, etc...) but the 2.6.0-testX have the preemptive feature enabled . Some friend explain me that the problem is in the scheduler and it will be fix. I don't know if the same problem of the scheduler affects to the xawtv/bttv and the redraw when I move the xawtv window (the redraw is more slow with 2.6.0). Anyone know/(has read) something about that? Anyone have the same problem? |

I have no problems with 2.6.0-testX and xine.. using xv driver EDIT: and nvidia drivers, not using agpgart nor drm/dri. don't know about mplayer. I'm happy 2.6.0-test3 is out, compiled it, using it now 
seems to work good so far. Need to test it more. |

Is it stable for a normal x86 that has a tv tuner? I'm anxious to try it, but i know that stuff like tv tuners that few people have are the last things to get supported.

Will it work with my promise Raid?
i couldn't get test 2 to work.
Also the latest gentoo ISO, the XP one, and the gentoo kernel image has a problem when trying to load the pdcraid module. But in the smp kernel image it loads fine.
Not sure why that is
