I've found some surprises in my testing of 2.6.0-mm2 on my RH 9 box.
First, 'make menuconfig' doesn't work. It paints the top 8 or so lines, and freezes. gnome-terminal begins using as much CPU as it's allowed. This is similar to bug 959 in bugme.osdl.org, but changing CHILD_PENALTY from 90 to 130 didn't fix the problem.
Second, simply resizing gnome-terminal results in the same behavior. Certainly, this may be a gnome thing.
Third, 'rpm' cannot install packages. It always exists with:
rpmdb: unable to join the environment error: db4 error(11) from dbenv->open: Resource temporarily unavailable error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Resource temporarily unavailable (11) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
11 is EAGAIN, but an strace revealed little to the uninitiated (me).
rpm also fails in the same way with --rebuilddb. /var/lib/rpm/__db.001 is zero length BTW. That is almost certainly wrong. Of course, these both work fine with a 2.4.20 kernel.
Sorry if these (or some variant thereof) have already been reported here.
Thanks for your time, and please note that I'm not subscribed to linux-kernel. If you need more info, please don't hesitate to ask.
