Non-Standard Kernel

Well, this is my first adventure with a non-standard kernel. I applied the -ck3 patches to the 2.6.9 Linux kernel. The standard 2.6.8.1 kernel had problems with burning CDs while the standard 2.6.9 kernel has a nasty kswapd bug that starts eating up the CPU when memory gets full. The -ck3 patches have fixes for the kswapd bug. I think Linus needs to rethink things and cut a 2.7 branch so 2.6 can stabilize. Using 2.6 as both a stable and development branch is introducing too much weirdness for my good.
