on the bleeding edge, i'm thinking of dumping the 2.6.0-test1
kernel on my severn system today, just to push the boundaries.
in addition, what are the implications of upgrading to
gcc 3.3? and what other RPMs would have to go along with
that to have a usable system?
just feeling the need ... the need for speed
I upgraded to the 2.6.0-test1 and I had a very annoying issue with USB
not working. I ended up tracking it down to a change in the name of the
USB1 module. I also had to take settings from /etc/modules.conf to
/etc/modprobe.conf This was especially annoying since I use a USB
keyboard and USB mouse. I do have USB legacy support turned on in the
bios, but the USB keyboard didn't work till I plugged in a PS/2
keyboard. The really funny thing was I would hit numlock on the USB
keyboard and it would change the led on the PS/2 keyboard.
On the same topic USB keyboard and mouse support need to be compiled in
like PS/2 support. Loading USB modules in rc.sysinit a very poor
substitute. Grub also needs native USB support. Currently it only works
with USB legacy support turned on in the bios.
