Ok, the linux device initialization stuff seems to be calming down. I
made a 1.3.35 that fixes a few more of the init problems ("Unable to
obtain scsi_result buffer" and some lance network driver statistics
stuff).

There are various minor changes to the scsi stuff: cleanups and
floptical media detection. 1.3.35 also updates the z8530 driver, and
the sjcd driver. It also contains a few minor updates to the ide
driver, and updates the random device a bit. Very minor fixes to the
sound driver as well..

1.3.35 also introduces the new graphical kernel configuration tool. Do
a "make xconfig" to configure the kernel by pressing on those nifty
buttons (fake quote of the month: "I don't need XDOOM any more: I do a
kernel config instead").

(The graphical config probably fails completely on an alpha. I suspect
it can't handle the CROSSCOMPILE config and multi-choice stuff.. I
haven't installed tcl/tk to test it out)

Have fun,

Linus
