Hi!
The next -uc for i386 is already available at:
http://distro2.conectiva.com.br/~lcapitulino/mdv_kernels/uc/2.6.12.20.uc2mdk/
and will be available for x86_64 in the next hours at:
http://tmb.kkc.fi/Kernels/2006.0/x86_64/
its changelog is:
* Wed Apr 20 2006 Luiz Capitulino <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2.6.12-20.uc2mdk
o Luiz Capitulino <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
- Enables kprobes on i386 and x86_64 (those are the architectures I know
it works)
- USB: remove __init from usb_console_setup(), it prevents an OOPs when
booting with 'console=ttyUSB0' but without a USB-serial dongle plugged
- Security fixes:
* ZZA5_CVE-2006-1525_ip_route_panic_fix.patch
* ZZA6_CVE-2006-0744_EM64T_sysret_fix.patch
o Arnaud Patard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
- Fix media change detection on scsi removable devices.
As you can see, nothing too big has changed and the number of changes is
really small.
On the other hand, the EM64T security fix changes code used by any x86_64
machine and it's really worth to test it (you have only to install the
kernel and report anything strange, as usual).
Short testlist:
Servers:
DELL PE 1850 / Xeon 2.8/1MB EM64T: No problems so far...
DELL PE 2850 / Xeon 3.2/2MB EM64T: No problems so far...
tmb homebuilt / Athlon64 3200+ /1MB: No problems so far...
Workstations:
Carrot 915PSY / Pentium 4l 630 3.0/1MB EM64T: No problems so far
tmb homebuilt / Athlon64 X2 3800+/2x512k: No problems so far
