is anyone able to use 2.6 kernel and have anyone tested the

preemtive

nature of the kernel 2.6.When visited kernel.org I could download some

tar

package I tried to apply patch, but in kernel compilation it is giving
error.Is there any rpm package of 2.6 kernel source so that I can

freshly

compile it and bott thru that kernel.If anyone is using 2.6 kernel

Download sources.
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.4.tar.bz2
Unzip.
gzip -cd linux-2.6.XX.tar.gz | tar xvf -

Read the README file from line 1 to $
Make sure you have the right gcc version.(gcc -v)

Compiling 2.6.xx is not much different than previous version. Only
difference I can see is that make dep is made redundant and the actual
compilation is shown more neatly on screen.

Preemptable kernel should be chosen while doing make menuconfig in the
page Processor type and features.

Hope you know how to make the new grub or lilo entries, if not then
google.

successfully please give me complete procedure to boot thru that
kernel.With 2.4 kernel I have written test program to test

preemtiveness

OR non-preemtiveness nature of the kernel.One kernel 2.6 installed I

can

test that.

Can you share with us what methodology you were using to test the
pre-emptive ness of the kernel?
