2.6.0-test10 released

Quote:
Linux creator Linus Torvalds released 2.6.0-test10 nearly one month after 2.6.0-test9 [story]. The compressed patch weighs in at a tiny 100kB, comprised mainly of one-liners and trivial fixes. Linus explains, "I've tried to be quite strict in patch acceptance, so the changes are largely fixes for things that can crash the machine, and they are also of the type 'this can't possibly break anything'. But hey, we all know that theory and practice don't always match "

There is a known issue triggered by kernel preemption, so for maximum stability Linus recommends that one should not enable CONFIG_PREEMPT. However he goes on to add, "I'd love to have more testing, so that we can try to figure out what the pattern is - but please mention explicitly that you ran with preemption if you have problems."

Guess I'll check it out. I ran test9 for a while, but never got rid of the choppy mouse.

test9 + bk patches got rid of the mouse problems for me. Been using test10 all day with no troubles so far. I wish Speedstep was working with 2.6 though.

Works fine for me, just as test9 did.

Actually, there's one problem. Now when I move my mouse wheel (in test9, and test10) to change tabs in Opera, it moves 2 tabs and not 1. Not a really big deal, but it is a little annoying. Anyone else experiencing this and have a fix?

I've been using Test10 since this morning. Didn't see the point in rebooting last night just to try a kernel. I've only been on the machine for 20 mins or so, but it seems fine.
I may take a look at the bk patches.
