Andrew has written up some caveats and pointers to information about 2.4.x
vs 2.6.x changes, and I'll let him post that. Some known issues were not
considered to be release-critical and a number of them have pending fixes
in the -mm queue. Generally they just didn't have the kind of verification
yet where I was willing to take them in order to make sure a fair 2.6.0
release.
It's actually rather short because I started late. See below.
There are also the "must-fix" and "should-fix" lists of items which we have
identified as still on the 2.6 todo list. These are at
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/must-fix/must-fix-7.txt and
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/must-fix/should-fix-7.txt
- Please report any problems to the appropriate mailing list. If you do
not know which list to use, send the report to linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
and it should reach the right person. Some active subsystem mailing lists
are:
linux1394-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
linux-xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx
linux-acpi@xxxxxxxxx
linux-scsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ext2-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
linux-usb-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Alternatively, kernel bug reports may be entered into the kernel bug
tracking system at http://bugme.osdl.org/
- The ATA RAID drivers (eg the HighPoint RAID driver) have not been ported
to the new BIO code and are not available under the 2.6 kernel at this
time.
