2.6 kernel status

Well, I did it last weekend on my main dual boot machine with sound
card and CD burner.  After a few little hoops to jump through, all
seems to be working fine.  I had to install mod-init as my previous
modutils did not meet the test.  The kernel Changes told me so also.
I updated cdrdao to 1.1.9 from slackware-current in order to take
advantage of IDE support in cdrdao.  I also got module-init-tools 3.0
from slackware-current.  I don't recall if module-init-tools was in
Slackware before but this package apparently includes the mod-tools
needed for 2.4 kernels and also the module-init stuff necessary for
2.6 kernels both.

Any way, I'd go for it.  2.6 kernel looks good to me.
