Hi, just for your info: I successfully compiled linus-2.4.0-test6 for my UP2000, which has been so far the first 2.4.0 series kernel working for me. Hint: make dep does not seem to run make archdep correctly, so vmlinux.lds is not build from vmlinux.lds.in in arch/alpha. Prior to make boot, make sure to run make archdep.
So far, I have not encountered problems. I would like to give 2.4.0 a try, since it fixes some things, I would like to see fixed. Are there any good resons not to use 2.4.0 - aside from the obvious "it's certainly not production-release yet" ? I have some rather obscure races and stuck spinlocks in 2.2.14-16, which 2.4.0 is apparently not suffering. Anything, I should be aware of ? ( The "rest" of my System is a potato snapshot taken at a time between test-cycle 2 and 3 - unfortunately, I seems to take some time until the 2.2 release appears at my favorite mirror, and ftp.debian.org is overloaded, as expected. grumbl ) Anyway, just FYI.
