Yes, Linus's tree is the OFFICIAL one. Except he doesn't test the modules
feature - he likes to compile a whole kernel without modules. Which is why
we keep seeing silly little problems breaking the kernel when modules are
enabled. :o(
The good news is; fixes for these little problems are always out within a
day, so have some patience.
I can only hope that when a 2.2.0 kernel comes out, it won't have any
silly little problems like this.
Linus: I recommend releasing one more 2.1.x kernel beyond the "final"
release to make sure that all the compile problems are ironed out, and
then we can wave good bye to 2.1. and welcome 2.2.0.
Cheers,
Alex
