I have ben trying the 2.6 Test kernel for a while now, the first 3 test kernels where quite awful, but with test4 things did worked now, after a while i decided to give a tryout to the test kernels on the contribs, so i installed the 2.6.0-0.9.5mdk (Test 9 i think), but it always blocks mozilla and other apps for a while, that was disappointing, so i downloaded the Test10 from kernel.org unpacked and the next day Test11 was out, Woot! , ok i patched to Test11, compiled bzImage, modules, modules_install and copied the bzImage to /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.0-test11, maked the initrd image and added it to lilo.conf, i booted it, and fine, snappy and fast, then i opened Mozilla and... It did block it!
It blocks any "graphic intensive program" like Mozilla, Gthumb, Gimp, etc. It may be the preemptive option, anyone with this kind of problem?
I read somewhere, in lkml i think, that the preemptive kernels (2.6 test series) have some weird effects on various apps, like blocking.
