ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.15-rc5/2.6.15-rc5-mm3/ - This kernel requires gcc-3.2.x or later for all architectures. - I'll be non-functional from December 16 until January 2. Will be on email a bit. Have fun. - When reporting any bugs please be extra careful to Cc the appropriate developer and mailing list. - I'm not aware of any of the more serious bugs in rc5-mm1 and rc5-mm2 being fixed. If anyone finds that there's a previously-reported problem in here then please just re-report it and don't be afraid to spread the Cc's around. Probably-unfixed bugs from -mm1 and -mm2 include: - Frank Sorenson <frank@tuxrocks.com>: mousepad tapping stopped working. - Roman I Khimov <rik@osrc.info>: "Something went wrong with ACPI, my fan is blowing constantly." - "J.A. Magallon" <jamagallon@able.es>: usb_set_configuration() oops. - Rachita Kothiyal <rachita@in.ibm.com>: kexec fails during USB init - "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@sisk.pl>: ehci_hcd crashes on load sometimes - Grant Coady <grant_lkml@dodo.com.au>: "Locked up on boot just after USB 2.0 initialised, EHCI 1.00 ..." - Martin Bligh <mbligh@google.com>: "Panics in pci_call_probe on both x440 and NUMA-Q" We need to get these things fixed up before maintainers merge into 2.6.16, please. I'll be checking!
