This release will include whatever has been included in the upstream kernel at version 2.6.24. AIUI, if your driver has been included only in the 2.6.25 branch, it will probably not be included. indeed 2.6.24 Debian deviates only slightly from upstream, some added patches, GPL enforcement, but we always consider driver backports to our stable kernel and have a history to do such. also joss is not a member of the etch+half pushing teams aka the debian kernel, installer and security teams. so be assured that your latest driver landed. i haven't heard yet from you May that you would test our tomorrows snapshot sid builds next week? bon weekend again -- maks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Meanwhile, I really would like to know more about the back porting our GPL driver into current stable Debian distribution? I'm sorry, What is snapshot sid builds? please read the docs you are pointed to - wiki.debian.org/DebianKernel there you have the sid daily builds, it would be really appreciated that you test boot such a kernel and show us dmesg. weekend starting, best regards -- maks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Dear Maks, Thanks! Is this the first time you head about HighPoint? We used to only offer Cost effective RAID controller or if refer to Linux community these are the Fake RAID category. My SI customer suggest we should educate Linux distributions or ask advice from Linux distribution developer where can we update our hardware RAID product information, it kind of letting Linux community knows HighPoint products now its GPL licensed and it is hardware RAID controller. Any ideas? Best Regards, May Hwang HighPoint Technologies,Inc.
