You can, but like previously mentioned, kernel 2.6 has som
dependencies.  The best way is use the backports.org, and add the
kernel-2.6 line to your source.  The kernel-2.6 directory will have both
the kernel-source and all the updated packages 2.6 needs.




Before committing to 2.6 test its performance. I've discovered disk i/o on my new mobo is about 33% faster on 2.4.26 than 2.6.7.


John, do not take this badly.


I wasn't too surprised,I noticed the same thing when I went from 2.2 to 2.4 on my old Pentium. On reflection, that was probably a SiS chepset too, ancestor to the one I have now.


You are doing something incorrectly then.

I wouldn't bet on that:-)


Exactly what (processor and disk controller) Chipsets are on this new
Motherboard?

Are you properly using udev with 2.6.7? Are you using Discover (1 or
2?)?


??


Are you using Hotplug?

Yes.


Are you using both?

There is a method to my madness... bear with me.

Probably of more importance is "Which driver is it using?"
I just rebooted to find that out.
sis5513 This is probably correct.
