To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I saw in Linus' 2.6.0-test10 announcement that preempt is suffering from some problems and should not be used. However, I am currently running 2.6.0-test10 with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y and nothing has appeared yet. To see if the problem appeared under stress, I started an A/V trailer playback with mplayer and then ran the find command on both my home directory and the 2.6.0-test10 kernel source directory, with the expected result - mplayer did not skip, neither find invocation broke, and there were no nasty errors in dmesg. So what exactly is the problem? I can provide more system info on request. TIA Brad ===== __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Free Pop-Up Blocker - Get it now http://companion.yahoo.com/
