| |
Hi all...
Just some updates and a ton of bugfixes collected. At least it did not blow up on my face.
Updates: - pre6-aa0: this is not really a -aa, but pre5-aa2 rediffed. - task_cpu, sched misc updates - bproc 3.2
Enjoy at: http://giga.cps.unizar.es/~magallon/linux/kernel/2.4.20-pre6-jam1.tar.gz
Perhaps some of the fixes (everything named 1X-xxxxx) are worthy and non intrusive for next pre. Marcelo, would you mind taking a look at those ?
