The current stable kernel is 2.4.21. The current 2.4.22 prepatch is 2.4.22-pre7, released by Marcelo on July 18; it includes a Super-H architecture merge, some I/O scheduler work, and various fixes and updates. Marcelo promises the first release candidate within a couple of weeks.
Kernel development news A slow week for the kernel page Things have been relatively slow in the kernel development world due to the fact that many kernel hackers are on the road to attend the kernel summit and OLS. Your editor is also on the road, so this week's Kernel Page will be small. For those who haven't yet seen it, our 2003 Kernel Summit coverage will, hopefully, provide a sufficient kernel news fix for the week. This page will return to its regular size next week.
