Redhat or generic kernel? and DevFS

[Anton Markov]

Hello everyone,

Now that Kernel 2.6 is out, and there winter break is here, I am 
planning on compiling myself a new kernel.  I have tried the 2.6 test 
kernels before, and have compiled other kernels, so I am comfortable 
with the compiling (mind you, 2.6 makes compiling so much easier).

I have one question: should I use the generic kernels from kernel.org, 
or the unofficial Redhat kernel source packages.  I find the Redhat 
packages work with slightly fewer bugs (and dependancies are sorted out 
with apt-get very nicely), so is there any reason to use the generic 
kernels?

Also, I want to switch to DevFS.  I have tried using DevFS under the 2.6 
test kernels, but I had many problems with the format of the 
/etc/modprobe.conf file and such (had to get the new modutils and all). 
  Is there any guide for DevFS written for 2.6?

Thanks.
