I ran 2.6.0-test1 yesterday with only one noticeable problem (couldn't
access cdrom) which I didn't have time to look into.

The beta comes with gcc 3.3 as the default compiler (and gcc32 3.2.3
for the 2.4 kernel).

I'm currently running a RawHide-based RHL system with 2.6.0-test1-mm2
compiled with gcc 3.3 with no problems so far. You'll also need Severn
(or latest) modutils package.
I think this will suffice.

Does this happen when running 2.6.0-test1-mm2 plus 08int.patch from Con
Kolivas?
2.6.0-test1-mm2 is a patch that should be applied on top of vanilla
2.6.0-test1 and can be found at
ftp://ftp.kernel.org//pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.0-test....
o8int.patch from Con Kolivas must be applied on top of a 2.6.0-test1-mm2

I ran 2.6.0-test1 yesterday with only one noticeable problem (couldn't
access cdrom) which I didn't have time to look into.
I had to
ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom
ln -s /dev/scd1 /dev/cdrom1
to get my CD-R and CD-RW back with 2.6.0-test1. Somehow the links are removed with the
test kernel. Weird. Not sure if it is scsi related.

just feeling the need ... the need for speed
I upgraded to the 2.6.0-test1 and I had a very annoying issue with USB
not working. I ended up tracking it down to a change in the name of the
USB1 module. I also had to take settings from /etc/modules.conf to
/etc/modprobe.conf This was especially annoying since I use a USB
keyboard and USB mouse. I do have USB legacy support turned on in the
bios, but the USB keyboard didn't work till I plugged in a PS/2
keyboard. The really funny thing was I would hit numlock on the USB
keyboard and it would change the led on the PS/2 keyboard.
On the same topic USB keyboard and mouse support need to be compiled in
like PS/2 support. Loading USB modules in rc.sysinit a very poor
substitute. Grub also needs native USB support. Currently it only works
with USB legacy support turned on in the bios.

Grub has size constraints like all boot loaders. USB is non trivial. I
agree in the longer term that Grub would benefit from native USB keyboard
although EFI firmware may one day make that problem go away (or become
different or something like that 8))

It should be run on installation of the new modutils, but only once.
If it's not working, that's a bug.

It did transfer my my eth0 and eth1 aliases, but didn't transfer the USB
aliases. So I guess it was a bug, I will file one shortly. Even if it
had transfered them, the name of the USB1 module changed and would have
resulted in the same issue of it not loading and no USB keyboard or
mouse.

I understand size constraints in the boot sector, but Grub loads other
parts from disk. I would think USB support could be in one of the later
stages from disk.

Im having the same problem with USB mouse and keyboard. They are both
dead on boot with Arjan's 2.6.0 (test 4 now) though all works fine with
the 2.4.21.20...nptl kernel. Ran the /sbin/generate-modprobe-conf
script and still nothing. Could someone be more specific with the name
problem Nathan reports? In 2.6 I show the keyboard and mouse (Input
Device Drivers) compiled into the kernel but USB_KBD and USB_MOUSE are
not set. So which module needs to be renamed?
