Development kernel based on 2.6.16 released
Document Actions
We have rebased our development branch to the latest stable vanilla kernel — 2.6.16, released March, 20th.
Changes and Compatibility
Kernel 2.6.16-026test005.1 has the same functionality and feature set as the latest stable kernel (022stab072.2), except for the following:
4 Gb split is currently not implemented; this feature is appropriate only for x86-based systems with more than 16 Gb of RAM;
fair CPU scheduler is currently not implemented. It is a work in progress and will be avaiable in the following releases;
when ip_conntrack module is loaded, connection tracking on hardware node is enabled by default, opposed to 2.6.8-based kernel where it is disabled. The behaviour is changed due to multiple complaints from OpenVZ users. In order to fall back to the old behaviour, use ip_conntrack_disable_ve0=1 parameter to the ip_conntrack module.

Beta status
While this kernel is already considered stable enough for testing and community review, we still recommend to stick to the stable (currently 2.6.8-based) versions for production environments.
