[uug] Linux 2.6.0-pre1

[Josh Hansen]

Hey,
Got the latest kernel and figured out that having hdb=ide-scsi as a boot 
paremeter was causing the kernel to freeze in the middle of IDE 
initialization. I have been trying to figure out what the problem was 
ever since about 2.5.25.
   The main problem I have noticed so far with 2.6 is that my xterms 
won't open properly. For example with the gnome terminal, the window 
opens and everything looks dandy, but no prompt appears. Does this have 
anything to do with the reorganization of the device systems ? Do these 
apps need to be recompiled, or just reconfigured, or am I missing an 
important module from my kernel?
   Oh, I have also noticed that the 'responsiveness' in xwindows is 
much improved, probably thanks to the preemptible kernel option.
   Later!
