Linux 6.9 Deprecates The EXT2 File-System Driver
Read all about at,
https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.9-Deprecates-EXT2
FWIW: The 6.9-rc1 kernel was built and installed on this box late yesterday. As mentioned elsewhere, VirtualBox will not install (build and install). Other than that, so far, so good.

no, that's normal when you do "make oldconfig" on 15.0 with a kernel .config coming from current, but if you save the new generated .config and overwrite the one in /source/k/kernel-configs/ next time it won't ask for input during that step...
but consider that, in general, that step ("make oldconfig") will also ask for input if build options are added/changed in the new kernel you are trying to build (in case it's different from the one in /sources/).

Try "olddefconfig", it's said that it won't ask.
From running "make help" in /usr/src/linux<etc>
Code:
olddefconfig - Same as oldconfig but sets new symbols to their
default value without prompting

Does hibernating (suspend to disk) work in 6.6.23 for you? (I had to go back to 6.6.22).

With -current 6.6.23 kernel hibernating usually hangs here: the display stays on but the mouse pointer does not move. SysRq REISUB reboots. Sometimes it does seem to hibernate: the computer powers down and can be waked up and the previous display comes visible, but it is stuck then.
When I rebuilt 6.6.23 with the previous linux-6.6.22/kernel/workqueue.c, it seemed to be fixed. There were several commits made in workqueue.c...

I'm having issues with sleep and hibernate. After sleep I have to bring up a terminal and as root /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth restart. Otherwise bluetooth does not work. Hibernation seems to work with the laptop, but not on my desktop machine: The machine boots as if it had not been put to sleep: there is no 10%, 20%, 30% and so on. I have to log back into kde with startx.
