I have a test SRPM here but I don't feel comfortable releasing it yet because it needs to be upgraded to Red Hat's latest bugfixes first. If you use a replacement modutils RPM it also requires a small change to mkinitrd or subsequent 2.4 kernel installation will fail. I'm currently running 2.5.65-ac3. I'm totally amazed by the speed and interactivity improvements in the scheduler, it seems that the desktop is very smooth even during heavy load. I can't wait for this to be standard and shipped with distros in 2.6.x kernels. =) I managed to get everything working in 2.5.65 for my Sony Vaio FXA36 Athlon laptop except alsa kernel modules wont load automatically despite my entires to /etc/modprobe.conf (replacement of /etc/modules.conf). This kernel version also seems to handle Athlon ACPI throttling and PowerNow for the first time. Finally Linux is viable on my laptop during battery operation.
