Is anyone using kernels from Debian experimental? I needed something newer than 3.2.x (testing ceph but I'm getting kbyte/second write performance!) so I tried a 3.8.x kernel from Debian experimental but it just reboots with no indication of why (using serial console via bmc)
i've been using debian experimental kernels for some time - pretty much since the wheezy freeze meant newer kernels stayed in experimental rather than sid. except for some recent problems with USB (after ehci support got split into two modules, ehci-pci and ehci-hcd), they've been working fine. my main machines are all AMD Phenom II x6 1090T CPUs. I used cpufreq-utils, with the on-demand governor (spending about 95% of the time at 800Mhz). according to cpufreq-info, they're all using the acpi-cpufreq driver. I don't use xen, but i do use kvm. have you tried xen 4.1.4-2 from sid or xen 4.2.0-1 from experimental? i'm no expert on xen but it seems a reasonable guess that you'd need the latest xen with the latest kernel. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>
