Is there an easy way to get a 2.6 kernel running on Fedora?

0

Updated 24 Jan 2004 Yes! There is a 2.6 kernel in the Fedora Development Tree. (Note: If you have an AMD Athlon, just get the i686 package — the 2.6 kernel now understands the difference between an i686 and an Athlon at runtime.) I highly recommend that you look at this forum thread before you install, or if you have problems after you install. And of course, as always, you should install this kernel using rpm -ivh kernel-2.6* (not with rpm -Uvh), so that you can keep a copy of your old kernel around in case you need it.
