Dear Yagi-san,
I heard from the horse's mouth that the CentOS team is working on the 100Hz centosplus kernel. I think your request triggered the action :-) They want make people happy.
That sounds nice! This TIPS, CONFIG_HZ=100, is one of FAQs. It will make most of us happy.
Now we can get kernel-vm package on dev.centos.org. Is it a test release of the special kernel? I installed the kernel-vm. Its change-log shows HZ=100. And the kernel seems better for clock interval on VMWare. Thanks a lot. Yuji
Tsuchimoto-san,
Yes, they are in testing. Some of us have been running the 100HZ kernel for more than 2 months and have not seen any problem so far. If you wish to know more details about the development of the virtualization-optimized kernel, please take a look at:
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2189
And feel free to add any comments you have on that report.
