Well, I'm not sure the _INTERNAL name is all that much better than the

In many ways, the _GPL one describes the _effects_ better, and also points

Hi Alan,
Is it possible to use pata_mpiix (or pata_oldpiix) with an ICH4 IDE controller
and boot off it?
I've tried compiling both drivers into the kernel, and totally disabling
CONFIG_IDE, but it doesn't boot. dmesg doesn't indicate any detection has
taken place. The old IDE layer works fine.

Hi,
This is Linux 2.4.33.5. It mostly fixes 2 minor vulnerabilities :
CVE-2006-5871 (smbfs) don't ignore uid/gid/mode mount opts w/ unix extensions
CVE-2006-6106 (Bluetooth) add packet size checks for CAPI messages
It's now up to date with the changes in 2.4.34-rc2.
