still reeling from my innocent query regarding ntpdate and ntpd, i'm
still interested in figuring out how seamless/messy the upgrade to the 2.6
kernel will be in FC2-test1 (or whatever it will be called).
personally, i spent months running the 2.5-test series and, briefly,
2.6 until i had to back off to 2.4 just because i wanted to add logical
volumes and i didn't feel quite macho enough to try to shoehorn LVM2
support in there (although i'm still thinking about it.)
so, with the first test release scheduled for feb 2 (according to
http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/schedule), is there somewhere
a doc explaining how an upgrade will handle the incompatibilities
between 2.4 and 2.6 involving things like (among others):
- different module structure, modules.conf vs modprobe.conf (not to
mention different module file names)
- different USB module names in /etc/rc.sysinit (and a different
USB filesystem name)
- other differences in /etc/rc.sysinit, "ksyms" vs "ksllayms", for
example
- LVM1 vs LVM2 support, etc.
some of this is just cosmetic, but some of it is more substantial.
is FC2 going so support a straight upgrade from FC1? and if so, how
will it handle these differences, particularly if people want to mix
both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels as boot time options?
