Linux development kernel 2.4.0test1-ac8 released

Date: Mon, 5 Jun 2000 00:40:59 +0100
From: Alan Cox alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk
To: linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu
Subject: Linux 2.4.0test1-ac8

These patches are versus 2.4.0-test1 from your favourite kernel mirror
(ftp.*.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4.0). The patches are in
/pub/linux/kernel/people/alan.

This has the new VM tweaks. Note that the AIC7xxx SCSI is still not working.

Please don't resend anything not in yet. I have more stuff to come but too
many changes make it hard to figure why something broke in a specific
release
