Thanks to the guys in irc.oftc.net #ck for inspiration to work on this and
early testing! Many of them sat idle in that channel for years while nothing
happened. The xkcd comic supported_features also helped motivate this
work. Yes I know you probably still can't watch full screen videos on youtube,
but that's not entirely the scheduler's fault.
but, on that side, with webm/html5 things are getting better
I have used it on my desktop and laptop and so far, so good
The latest NVidia driver 260.12.19 is compatible with it and if you are running VMWare Workstation, i have found a workaround patch to make it work with 2.6.36 and i have posted it on my blog: http://slackblogs.blogspot.com/2010/...ux-kernel.html

In this case, "bzImage" and "modules" are targets and the command should be valid - assuming he is using the GNU make[1].
I have been using this kernel for a couple of hours now. The only problem i have had so far is that sometimes (usually when i open an OpenGL application or start a video playback with either mplayer or vlc) my screen "blinks" for 1-2sec.
[1] I'm not sure if the non-GNU versions accept multiple targets.
[2] From the man make(1)
