用了好一陣子的 kernel-2.6.6，今天下載 kernel-source-2.6.8 回來編譯，沒想到編譯完成、安裝好 kernel-image-2.6.8 之後，赫然發現 KDE 3.3 和 Mozilla 的反應快了許多 (包括視窗移動、畫面捲動...等等)，就好像之前 2.6.6 沒有打開 preemptive 選項一樣 (我確定我的 kernel 2.6.6 有打開這個選項)，真是奇怪。

接下來才是正題。小弟原本是想要用 kernel-2.6.9 的，結果發現舊的顯示卡 (TNT2) 在 nvidia 6629 版本的驅動程式不能正常執行 (畫面支離破碎)。小弟退而求其次，想要裝回 6111，結果 6111 雖然可以在 kernel-2.6.9 底下編譯，卻不能載入模組。小弟只好改裝 kernel-2.6.8，才能夠安裝版本 6111 的 nvidia driver。有遇到相關問題的網友可以參考看看。
