Hi, 2.6.10-as6 includes a few more fixes, including a bug introduced by me in earlier -as kernels; if -as didn't work on your x86_64 SMP machine, this kernel should fix it. Thanks to Frederik Sch�ler for pointing out the problem. There is also some potential security related stuff in there, as well.
I'll be offline for the next week or so (yay, vacation). The -as tree is intended to include only security and bugfixes, from various sources. I do not include hardware driver updates (specifically, anything that changes how the hardware registers themselves are probed/poked), large subsystem updates, cleanups, and so on; only fixes that will not contain regressions. The hope is that vendors/distributors can use this tree as a base for their kernels. It is also what I'd want a 2.6.x.y tree to have. The kernel patches can be grabbed from here: http://www.acm.cs.rpi.edu/~dilinger/patches/2.6.10/as6/ 27354299d1a76c69c2d8bca60dea9646 ChangeLog cad896bc0a7a256c124a0a83f7d4d6f1 linux-2.6.10-as6.tar.gz c8085158617f9f10a831bb1eae15dc31 patch-2.6.10-as6.gz Changes from 2.6.10-as5: 2005-02-26 07:40:27 GMT Andres Salomon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> patch-152 Summary: tag 2.6.10-as6 Revision: linux--dilinger--0--patch-152 modified files: 000-extraversion.patch 2005-02-26 07:16:10 GMT Andres Salomon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> patch-151 Summary: make 141*.patch apply Revision: linux--dilinger--0--patch-151 modified files: 141-pci_devices_dont_disable_dev_if_busy.patch 2005-02-26 07:13:47 GMT Andres Salomon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> patch-150 Summary: drop 128-usb_hcd_driver_model_class.patch Revision: linux--dilinger--0--patch-150 Scratch that; this is only deref'd if the driver model class stuff in bk is used.
