There's a new kernel out there. 2.1.126 does: - architecture updates for alpha and MIPS (and some minor PPC updates too) - joystick updates - MCA stuff from Alan. The guy has too much free time on his hands. - stallion driver cosmetic update - nasty SMP race with "task queues" (not the scheduling kind), where we were mixing atomic metaphores, resulting in a mess. Usually a benign one, but occasionally you could force oopses. - some floppy and ide updates - PS/2 mouse driver integrated into the PC keyboard controller. That got rid of a lot of really nasty problems (it's the same controller, accessing it from two different drivers was always messy) - various driver updates: floppy, ide, network drivers, sound, video.. - various small FS fixes - finally _really_ getting the ENOENT vs ENOTDIR stuff right, nfsd updates, remounting fixes, filesize limits on NFS and smbfs, ntfs and ufs updates... - shm updates from Alan - cleanup of some MM stuff, I hope Andrea will re-do the patches and I'll look at the other parts. - unix fd garbage collection fix, getting rid of circular dependencies..
And probably various other small fixes that I have thankfully forgotten about.
