ftp://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/alan/2.2/.. This is primarily for people who want the large file array support. Most of the other stuff I intend to submit on to Linus for 2.2.1/2.2.2 -> whenever If you have a problem in 2.2.1ac6 verify you can duplicate it with 2.2.1 before posting general bug reports if possible. Make sure it is obvious if a bug report is about -ac6 to avoid any confusion. Definitely let me know if you have any ac6 specific problems. Don't bother Linus unless 2.2.1 unpatched also breaks.
