For anyone who tries a 2.6.x kernel early in the game, here is a place to record your experiences.
-'I have tried (2.5).62 through .66. .62 appears to be the most stable with .66 second. I do run a lot of [OpenGL] apps (read: [Quake] III Arena) though, and it's more likely to be the Nvidia driver thats causing my system instability. As far as performance goes: 2.5.65 with the ingo-linus scheduler was by far the fastest in interactive applications. In general I get about a 30% increase in framerate (under glx) but of course this comes at the cost of stability. [WineX
] also feels a lot faster (thought there is no framerate gain according to ingame displays - I've tried CS and Ghost Recon] - [TomHibbert]'

'Tried a generic 2.6.0 from kernel.org on Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow) using SoftwareRaid. When running the make install it complains when creating the initrd image and the raid1 module not being present. The bzImage loads fine when testing it manually, and seems to run sofar. -- GerwinVanDeSteeg'
Compiled 2.6.5 under Debian Sarge, monolithic (no modules, compiled in everything I use) and pre-emptable. It feels very responsive! Been using it for a few days already. - zcat(1)
