Yes, daily mainline is either by daily *gitN patches or by using a linux-2.6.git tree that you update at least once per day. mmotm is announced on linux-kernel mailing list. It is available as a tarball of patches against mainline, e.g.: mmotm-2010-0311-1313 ... applies to: 2.6.34-rc1 or in a git tree (somewhat delayed): The mm-of-the-moment snapshot 2010-03-11-13-13 has been uploaded to http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ and will soon be available at git://zen-kernel.org/kernel/mmotm.git See http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/mmotm-readme.txt for more info. >> However, boot testing is probably even more helpful, such as you >> have already tried.
