I run gentoo x86 stable, so that I usually avoid this sort of thing.
This kernel, however, looks balky to me, because it's reporting
warnings and other oddities during compilation. I don't like warnings
at any time, and with the kernel's make wrappers cleaning up the
output they tend to stand out.
Here's what I get:
-- various type/attribute warnings
-- reports of deprecated elements
-- a report of "section mismatches", and instructions to use "make
CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y" to find details.
All that being said, the compilation completes, and I can boot it. I
don't know the cause, but I have been unable to get vmware-server
running on it, and I'm going back to the previous kernel for that
reason.
I hope you're not implying that a kernel should not be declared stable
simply because a vmware product lags behind in kernel support? vmware 4
lacks support for kernel 2.6 alltogether, maybe we should only have 2.4
stable because of that.
