Notes:
You can use SMP, SMT, and PREEMPT now.
If you run VMWARE, do not use 1GB_LOWMEM (VMWARE modules won't compile)
If you're going to compile in Reiser4, be sure that 4K stacks is off
If you have an nVidia card, you can use the regular arch nvidia package

Enjoy!

2.6.9 will be out in a week (at least this is the rumors)

soniX · 2004-10-14 18:10:18

I read some info a while ago indicating that Java would become unstable, or even crash running with some patchsets....
Google wouldnt give me any usefull info, since these kind of bugs apear and get fixed every week. And what didnt work last week might no work now, and vice versa..
Does anyone have any info on this, cause a kernel made for desktop use sounds good for my notebook. (but not if it brakes java, cause that is what im using my notebook for... and playing with arch ofcourse)

kernel26mm supports java (BUT if you want to try it, wait for the 2.6.9 release, as the 2.6.8.1-mmX are not really good, because 2.6.8.1 is the most unstable one since 2.4.16)

i'm not sure. i had java issues with 2.6.9-rc2-love4, and 2.6.9-rc3-nitro2 kernels, but java's working fine with this one.
