      Have a test server configured exactly (or as close as you can get) like your production server.

      Always test new software on the test machine before putting it on the production machine.

      This is important whether you're running Linux or Windows or whatever. Even when you're testing new versions or updates of apache or PHP or perl or postgresql or whatever.

    Here are some issues not discussed in the kernel documentation, that need to be resolved before technical users who know nothing about the kernel (like me) will be able to test the kernel in any meaningful way...

    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3 will be ok, out of date?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?

    • In Linux 2.6 the old NTFS driver support was removed and new better code [sf.net] installed instead. The NTFS write support is there, but very, very limited; the only good use for NTFS write support I know about is Topologi-Linux [sourceforge.net], which allows you to run Linux installed in a large loop-mounted file on an NTFS disk (don't need to partition your MS Windows disk to try out Linux, yet get a full "normal" install).

      See http://mlf.linux.rulez.org/mlf/ezaz/ntfsresize.htm l#write for more info on the old vs new NTFS suppo

    • If your VTs are missing (and chances are pretty good that, if you can get into X, you can't start an xterm) you likely forgot to mount the devpts filesystem.

      Try `mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts` and see if that resolves it; if so, add the appropriate entry to your fstab.

    James A.A. Joyce. I should have been keeping closer track I guess, but I was still trying to do 2.6.0-test1 with the -mm2 and the -int7 patches. Thx for the info, I'll get back to you on it!

    FWIW, I read the kernel ML daily and I can say that the kernel team strongly desires end user feedback in the form of commentary and bug reports (not flames!)

    They're looking for all the possible "oddball" cases (AKA "corner cases") and also for extreme loads such as huge files/filesystems, throughput, mem and net bandwidth, fs integrity, etc.

    Regular users should participate; Linus has said that his focus is still on desktop usability and responsiveness. Anyone else who is interested should make sure to enable the -preempt option as well -- amazing performance!

    Damn... now I need to try -test2.
  • It's been ages since I last compiled a kernel (2.4.18 when it was 'hot off the press'), and I don't remember all the steps. (I always manage to get them in the wrong order.) Furthermore, the compiling instructions are apparently different for 2.6?

    Searching on Google -- even with the "2.6" or "2.5" -- yields some instructions on 1.0 series kernels that trail on for pages and pages. Can someone post a verbose summary of how to build the kernel under 2.6? (I know the basics, of course. Just the make commands

      Untar kernel sources

      cd /path/to/kernel/sources

      make menuconfig
      make bzImage modules modules_install

      cp arc/[your arch]/boot/bzImage [appropriate place]

      modify lilo/grub config, run lilo if required

      get the new module-init-tools and install them (debian can apt-get them I believe, gentoo just emerge them)

      reboot, enjoy.

    I tried running xosview, but it hung. gdb shows:
