Standardizing on a certain release and maintaining that well is a good thing (TM), but a more natural choice would maybe be to use 2.6.16 which has a stable tree. In fact, if Debian says 'we'll maintain _this_ kernel', that has 0 correlation with its stability for UML usage. > * 2.6.18 SKAS > * Fix TT compiling (see patch attached to > http://bugs.debian.org/412957 -- unfortunately this regression fix did > not make it into the released kernel) Using TT mode is now very useful now that SKAS0 works. > * "Re: [uml-devel] [UML] fix crash in block layer" / Jason Lunz / Fri, > 16 Feb 2007 09:02:30 -0800 (patch context modified to patch against > 2.6.18) > * "[PATCH 2/3] UML - Host VDSO fix" / Jeff Dike / Tue, 20 Feb 2007 > 11:56:37 -0500 > > The last 2 patches I have personally not experienced, but were > suggested by caker.
