I've also been using the 2.6.0-test series for a week or two now, and using the p4_clockmod driver and the userspace governer with the new sysfs, I can make my 2.2GHz laptop feel like a 233MHz system! (-= Everything is really coming together with this kernel, ACPI works great, I have full control over power managment, cpu speed, there's finally posix acls built in, and all kinds of other good stuff. So far I have only run into one bug in the new kernel, but I don't think it's one a lot of people will notice, when your kernel has built in initrd support, but not built in ramdisk, devfs will oops when you modprobe the ramdisk driver later. (There's actually a fairly sane reason I'm using initrd without ramdisk support, but it's not something most "normal" people would do) --Nick -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: pgpenvelope 2.10.2 - http://pgpenvelope.sourceforge.net/ iD8DBQE/NyKMv+hjYTGg7s4RAnzcAJ9m6qVoit07BrfYgEgu44zsPUnvjwCffw5N kGMDSkj0qzXDV+eE2QVbYyM= =1Fxn -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
