I've put up 2.2.0pre7ac5 on
ftp://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/alan/2.2pre/...
Differences between 2.2.0pre7ac4 and 2.2.0pre7ac5
o Backed out the routing change - doesnt work and ANK dislikes it
o Scheduling info fix
o Re-order PCI probes to match 2.0.x more - this stops the ne2kpci and
tulip cards changing ethN order between 2.0 and 2.2
o Restored the multi-lun ide-scsi stuff. Sure it breaks the 1 in
50,000 cases of people with multilun but it stops the tons of other
cases where it crashes the machine.
o More typo fixes
o AIC7xxx defaults to tagged queue off
o Remove IBM drive from blacklist
p Page cache hash is now scaled by memory size
o select()/poll() work for arbitary sized maps.
o Everything doing version checks now uses version.h - fixes the
compile problems with the bttv driver.
o 3c523 fixes (I hope)
o Next step in the xconfig saga.
o Cleaned up ipconfig ifdefs a little and fixed a small info bug in
it.
o Cleaned up KMOD ifdefs
o Testing ANK's smp race fixes for networking
Differences between 2.2.0pre7ac3 and 2.2.0pre7ac4
o Documentation cleanups
o Fix some (harmless for now) bugs in the checksum code for i386
o Remove bh fix
o ex2fs scsi cdrom mounts should now work. Can people scream if
some other sort died instead
o Unregister hooks for user mode IDE swappers on laptops.
Differences between 2.2.0pre7ac2 and 2.2.0pre7ac3
o Davem's sparc patches merged. Might well work sparc now
o NFS client over tcp works.
o Dropped IPI counter remnant
o More Config.help cleanup
o matroxfb help improvements
o Ted's serial fix

o PPP ipv6 change

o UM8886 IDE controllers irq detection fixed
o 3c59x byte counters
o Remove remaining cern_hippi bits
o ext2 fsync update
o isofs fixes
o de4x5 should compile ok now
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 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)
