Kernel release status
The stable kernel team released the
2.6.17.1 kernel
with a security fix for the SCTP network protocol, and the
2.6.16.21 kernel
with the same SCTP fix, and a PPC 32bit fix and a local
denial of service fix.
Since the 2.6.17 kernel release Linus's tree has started filling up very quickly, with almost 1000 patches being accepted in 3 days. These changes include a very large MIPS update, ARM update, SCSI update, PCI Hotplug update, wireless networking update, network update, network driver update, userspace cleanup of the header files, and a firewire update.

Kernel release status Posted Jun 24, 2006 1:01 UTC (Sat) by Soruk (guest, #2722) [Link] Oh, lovely.
Some time between 2.6.14 and 2.6.17.1 something changed which broke cdrecord (again). Rebooting back to my old 2.6.14 kernel cdrecord works fine. (but ppa is broken for high-mem machines). The problem still occurs with the latest cdrecord 2.01.01a10.
I can't be the only person who burns to a USB-connected CD burner so, assuming that no-one else has seen this problem (since Google is drawing a blank), I'm running seriously short of ideas. Strange that it suddenly cannot allocate memory when I've got a mere 1.5GB of the stuff.
Any ideas would be much appreciated, as I'm out of them entirely.

Kernel release status Posted Jun 25, 2006 15:07 UTC (Sun) by alspnost (guest, #2763) [Link] I've hit this as well - it seems like a throwback to the bad old days, but doing a "ulimit -l unlimited" fixes it for me!
Kernel release status Posted Jun 26, 2006 23:44 UTC (Mon) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link] are you running cdrecord as root?
non root users are very limited in how much ram they can lock (on my 2.6.17-rc2 desktop it defaults to 32k)
