Using generic binary rpm's would be a huge time saver on compiling vanilla from source.
We don't have a git repo of expanded trees yet,
Honestly for what I'm doing, an archive of the 'best' 2.6.28, 2.6.29 & 2.6.30 rpm's would let me figure out which release introduced the issue.
There's not just me with a box, that fails to boot 11.2 so some sort of fallback kernel (to run installer in degraded mode) wiith hopefully a small net archive of unsupported binaries, would help generate better kernel bug reports.
Last time I got involved with kernel debug testing, I had to set aside about 20 GB of disk space, even after I de-bloated the kernel config, and it took about 2 1/2 hours to compile on a dual Athlon MP box.
That's not a "de-bloated" kernel config :) Use the 'make localmodconfig' option in the latest kernel version to provide you with a config that is tuned for your machine. It only selects the options that you have loaded modules for and makes for a _much_ faster build. hope this helps, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
