kernel-desktop has been REPLACED by kernel-default -- as in _Back to the Future_ replaced.
Apart from a truckload of CONFIG statemets which were *removed* from the *-desktop but which are STILL in the *-default, these are the differences between *-desktop and *-default:
http://susepaste.org/55220715 Of which the only possibly significant changes are in:
CONFIG_HZ_250 CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP
The latter can be toggled by way of /proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled Why should anyone have to "toggle" anything manually when it is already set and compiled in the kernel-desktop? Basil, that one is easy - because kernel-desktop is gone :-) The sensible thing would be to add a line to /etc/sysctl.conf.
Some people running timing-critical applications may be affected by this change - but nobody appears to see fit to make an official announcement about this. It is a pretty minor change, isn't it? Do you subscribe to the list 'opensuse-kernel'? If you do, or do not, have a look at the exchange of posts in the thread, "Merging kernel-desktop back to kernel-default (fate #319416)", held last month (September). I'd rather just have your two-line summary, please. It seems to be only about CONFIG_HZ_250 ?
I would prefer it if you read the thread yourself and came to your own conclusions - you may interpret things differently.
I thought you had a specific issue with kernel-default, something more significant than CONFIG_HZ_250 / CONFIG_HZ_1000. For the moment, I have kernel-default running on a test desktop and have seen no issues. It's unlikely that I'll migrate any desktops to Leap for a year or two, so any latent issues will surely have popped up by then :-) -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.6°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
