Subject: kernel update (relative to v2.6.4)
Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2004 05:58:51 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200403120558.i2C5wp4a010686@napali.hpl.hp.com> (raw)
The latest ia64 kernel patch is now available at
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ports/ia64/v2.6 in file:
linux-2.6.4-ia64-040311.diff.gz
Apart from syncing with 2.6.4, this contains various small bug fixes.
If you use ia64 linux on a workstation, I'd definitely recommend using
this patch because it fixes some nasty races in the OHCI USB driver
(used on most HP machines, for example) and a bug in the HID input
driver which could cause a CPU to get stuck when connecting certain
USB devices. Also, I think Ken's fix for the softirq handling
unexpectedly fixed some sound play-back issues (it's always nice when
a fix shows up before the problem is even tracked down... ;-).
Oh, due to Matthew's patch to switch over to drivers/Kconfig, you'll
have to type "n" a lot when doing "make oldconfig" for the Ski
simulator. But that should be a one-time event and it's all for the
better. If you're lazy, you could try:
$ yes n | make oldconfig
Just don't sue me if this yields a non-working kernel!
Enjoy,
