Linus Torvalds: Linux 2.6.15-rc4 Dec 1, 2005, 13 :45 UTC (0 Talkback[s]) (9837 reads) (Other stories by Linus Torvalds)
Ok, so -rc3 wasn't so good.
[ Everybody chorus now: "Nooo?" ]
No.
[ Everybody chorus now: "Really?" ]
Really.
[ Everybody chorus now: "So what?" ]
So I made an -rc4.
This one hopefully doesn't have those pesky PageReserved() annoyances, and
the EHCI host controller bootup problems.
[ Everybody chorus now: "Hallelujah!" ]
Indeed.
It also has some atm, mtd and cifs updates.
Linus
[ Btw, some drivers will now complain loudly about their nasty mis-use of page remapping, and that might look scary, but it should all be good, and we'd love to see the detailed output of dmesg on such machines. ]
