Hmm, except for some sched policy setting problems on NPTL, I don't see bigger problem than 2.4+preempt kernel. For some people, 2.4+preempt might work _casually_ better than 2.6, but it can happen vice versa. Shouting "DON'T USE 2.6" isn't a good solution. Though, we need to inform to "set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL as a workaround"... Takashi
