From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: David Mosberger Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2004 05:58:51 +0000 Subject: kernel update (relative to v2.6.4) Message-Id: <200403120558.i2C5wp4a010686@napali.hpl.hp.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org 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, --david
