Linux 2.6.0 came out about 10-12 hours ago.  I've been running a 2.6.0
test (pre-) kernel on my Debian/Unstable system for a little while and had
few problems moving up from 2.4.  The problems I did encounter were mostly
of the "annoying" sort.

Problems I saw going to a 2.6.0 test kernel:

1) The ps/2 mouse stopped working under X.

Quickest fix was to connect it as a usb mouse since this is what it really
was anyway.  Detected & ran fine.  Other fixes for getting a ps/2 mouse to
work under 2.6 in X are floating around the 'net.

2) Osview breaks

The damn thing runs but won't display.  Odd.  Hardly a serious issue
though.

3) The device name used by my CDRW changed.  Apparently I shouldn't use
scsi emulation for the IDE burner anymore.  Actually I'm yet to get around
to fixing this.  Probably tonight.
