I installed first a basic Cooker with normal kernel (under VMware) and
then did a "urpmi kernel-2.6" which installed both the kernel and the
module-init-tools. I then edited /etc/lilo/conf and added the new
kernel entry. I also did a "mkinird -f initrd-2.6.0 2.6.0-0.test2.1mdk"

When I rebooted the VM, I chose the Kernel-2.6 entry and it started
booting. The system seemed to boot fine but I discovered no ethernet
loaded. So I determined that the pcnet32 modules wasn't loaded.

You mean re-compile the 2.6 kernel and set this parameter so the module
gets generated?

Sorry for the limited information. This is the first time I have run
the 2.6 - I was waiting for the Mandrake RPMS before I tried because i
wanted to avoid having to recompile kernels (I've done this in the past
with mixed results and it's very time consuming)
I guess the reason I asked about a "how-to" was just to give people a
basic understanding of what to expect from the 2.6Test2 kernel in Cooker
and how to use it (in very basic terms). In order to get more people
testing it, it should be as easy to install and use like the 2.4 kernel
series.
Thanks for your quick feedback - Let me know if you want to take this
discussion offline . . .
Thx,
