Yes, absolutely. They work, but they do not work as well as the kernels I get for my FC2 boxes from here: http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/ That said I have not characterized the differences in a long time so maybe that's worth a day to see what the results end up looking like. However a real characterization would require patching some kernel (gentoo-sources?) with Ingo's patches and seeing what the differences are. Not sure if my skill set is up to that by myself. Thanks for the response, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
