I love Linux but hate most of the bloated distro's. However I would love to see how real time and fast this new kernel is. Also I heard you do not have to do a "make modules" when compiling.
Anyway back to my long instant-workstation ports installation.

How to configure support for Virtual Terminals?
Using an install straight from the Debian Woody DVD-R, it can compile, boot and get to X. However there is absolutely no output from "loading kernel...", to the start of X, and cntl-alt-f1 gets be to an unchanged screen, not a login prompt. I know that VT support is not enabled by default (why?), but enabling VT and console on VT does not make any difference. Same thing happens with Mandrake 9.1.
Are compile errors for default configuration OK?
I thought I may have accidentally removed something required for VT support. So I made a completely default install, i.e. "make config" and hold down enter for all questions. However, this would not even compile on gcc 3.95.4 from Debian Woody. Are drivers that don't even compile enabled by default, or is the statement in the docs that any gcc 3.95.x where x>3 will be ok, out of date?
Would getting the .config file from a working install of 2.6-test help?
If so do you have a link?
Why does make modules_install complain about missing dependencies?
Why doesn't it just make the dependencies? What are we meant to do about this?
Also, is NTFS write support ready for end-user testing in non-mission critical situations?

See http://mlf.linux.rulez.org/mlf/ezaz/ntfsresize.htm l#write for more info on the old vs new NTFS support in Linux.
BTW, the kernel config help is outdated on this subject and gives seriously wrong advice. Hopefully we can fix that soon.

I have yet to get this working... (Score:3, Interesting)
I've tried three of these, 2.5.74, 2.6.0-test1 and -test2. Every time I boot up the kernel (bzImage from arch/i386/boot) it says "Uncompressing linux... OK " and that's it. Nothing else. I would really love to get this to work out, especially the native ALSA support (my sound card works great under ALSA, not so great under OSS). I'm wondering if perhaps some of the stuff I've compiled in is inhibiting the boot process.
I have IDE support compiled right in, my CPU is set up correctly (x86/Pentium-II), I'm not using anything fancy like initrd et al, I have ACPI and APM enabled, nss what else I can mention.
Installed module-init-tools and converted over my old profile (just had two aliases for my network cards), depmod runs w/o any problems (I remembered to pass in the symbols for the new kernel).... argh.

Plug in the camera, and it appears as a SCSI disk. If you have autofs turned on, it should "just work".
With modern Gnome and KDE, it's as easy as plugging it in and double-clicking an icon that appears on your desktop.
