Linux 2.6.9-rc4 - pls test (and no more patches)
From: Linus Torvalds
Date: Sun Oct 10 2004 - 22:26:04 EST
Ok,
trying to make ready for the real 2.6.9 in a week or so, so please give
this a beating, and if you have pending patches, please hold on to them
for a bit longer, until after the 2.6.9 release. It would be good to have
a 2.6.9 that doesn't need a dot-release immediately ;)
The appended shortlog gives a pretty good idea of what has been going on.
Mostly small stuff, with some architecture updates and an ACPI update
thrown in for good measure.
(The ACPI update fixes broken AML with implied returns, and in particular
the Compaq Evo notebook fan control. Yay! Guess who has one..)
Linus
