Some time back, there was a discussion on fedora-list about vanilla
kernels. IIRC, Rahul offered to create an RPM for the vanilla
kernel.org kernels with no Fedora patches or only security patches for
those of us that wanted to test with vanilla kernels. I am wondering
whatever happened to that proposal.
I have a Thinkpad T61 with nVidia graphics. In F8, the machine refueses
to suspend--it goes into suspend mode and then spontaneously comes out.
This happens with the nVidia driver and the VESA driver (the nv driver
still doesn't work 8^(...). In RHEL5, an identical machine running the
VESA driver works perfectly.
I'd like to try to help troubleshoot this
(
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=254214), and I think having
a vanilla kernel might be useful.
The specfile in rawhide has a vanilla option. All you have to do is
run:
make vanilla-$TARGET
And it will build a vanilla kernel (with only patches for the config
mechanisms IIRC).
