From: alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk (Alan Cox) I've put up 2.2.0pre7ac1 on ftp://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/alan/2.2pre/... Its mostly a standstill patch versus 2.2.0pre6ac1 - just the stuff I didnt get merged with Linus - but a few small items have been added. ac2 will follow some time later with the stuff from the pending pile. Differences between 2.2.0pre7 and 2.2.0pre7ac1 o Config help for Apollo and for INITIO scsi o Large fd arrays (100,000 per process!) o Console font handling fixes in 512 char mode o Lance allows compiling as a module o EEPro100 has byte counters o Some shaper bug work - still doesnt work in 2.2.0pre o Symbios 53c416 support o QlogicFC fibre channel controller support o Problems with certain numbers of disks fixed o PAS2 and SB sound fixes o Swap/page size header stuff handled right o NFS client knows about BSD style FIFO rule o Memory locking fixes for /proc o AVL tree VMA handling for speed when running debug tools o Root-dev sysctl works for both endians o IP masquerade bug fix for ICMP masq o NFS over TCP mostly works o Xconfig fixes o IPI counter on SMP o ver_linux script improvements Oh yeah I left some I2O references in in error. Just say N to those 8) Alan
