Kernel release status
The current development kernel is 2.6.0-test7; there have been no
development kernel releases in the last week.
Linus's BitKeeper tree does contain a pile of patches, most of which are stability fixes as one would expect. It also includes a (controversial) patch to allow kernel threads to handle signals properly, a fix for a possible interrupt handling deadlock, and a workaround for the AMD Opteron prefetch bug. The current stable kernel is 2.4.22. Marcelo released 2.4.23-pre7 on October 9; it includes Jens Axboe's laptop mode patch, a new MegaRAID driver, BIOS enhanced disk detection support, USB gadget support, and various other fixes and updates. The plan is apparently to get the first release candidate out within a month. (Log in to post comments)
Kernel release status Posted Oct 16, 2003 8:22 UTC (Thu) by proski (subscriber, #104) [Link] If you were forced to use pci=noacpi with older 2.6 kernels, try test7 without that parameter - it works for me everywhere (Intel and VIA chipsets).
