| |
I am using the ftp.kernel.org 2.1.123 source on intel, I had to delete a redefinition of `con_copy_unimap' from drivers/char/consolemap.c but otherwise, there were no problems (but I don't use frame buffer). My sound (Cyrstal 4232) loads, plays and unloads no problem. I can mount my IDE CDROM. I also have four SCSI cards and 9 disk stripe (raid0 mounted as /) on this box, all working fine (one pass of Bonnie worked). I see no good evidence yet that 2.1.123 is significantly different in performance from 2.1.120. In the kernels from 2.1.121 to 2.1.123-2, I could not boot SMP so actually for me this kernel is a huge performance improvement.

2.1.123 with the above noted fix worked for this plebian.
