a/devs-2.3.1-noarch-24.tgz: Added udev-style /dev/md/* devices to save people
who boot between 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernels some trouble.
Thanks to Mircea Baciu for pointing out this possibility.
Note: Upgrading the devs package while running udev will NOT work.
a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-63.tgz: Patched rc.4 to check both /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
for gdm. Thanks to Scott J. Harmon.
Added a warning in rc.S that if you make an rc.modules.local that the other
rc.modules script(s) will not be run.
Don't try to start udev if sysfs and tmpfs are not in the kernel.
Use grep '-q' option instead of '> /dev/null' in many places.
a/udev-097-i486-2.tgz
ap/sysstat-7.0.0-i486-1.tgz: Added sysstat-7.0.0.
Suggested by grk wng and Jesper Juhl.

n/nfs-utils-1.0.10-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to nfs-utils-1.0.10.
t/xfig-3.2.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to xfig-3.2.4.
Thanks to Daniil Bratashov for the initial SlackBuild script.
xap/gimp-2.2.12-i486-3.tgz: Fixed icon path in gimp-2.2.desktop.
Thanks to Nikos Skalkotos for the bug report.
xap/imagemagick-6.2.9_0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to imagemagick-6.2.9-0.

a/genpower-1.0.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to genpower-1.0.5.
Thanks to Bernd Noessler for letting me know about this -- freshmeat.net
still points to a much older version of genpower.
a/less-394-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to less-394. Thanks to Haakon Riiser for
suggesting this and confirming that less-394 is an official stable release.
Added RAR support to lesspipe.sh. Thanks to Manolis Tzanidakis.
a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-64.tgz: In rc.M, check better for udev before running
rc.optical-symlinks, and run the script in a login shell which might fix the
error "-bash: let: expression expected" that some people have reported.
Thanks to Michiel Broek for the hint about using a login shell.
ap/mt-st-0.9b-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mt-st-0.9b.
Thanks to Stuart Winter.
d/git-1.4.1.1-i486-2.tgz: Replaced hard links with symbolic links, since
Stuart Winter hates hard links. (I hope he doesn't find the other ones! ;-)
Thanks to Stuart Winter for the patch.
kde/kdebase-3.5.4-i486-4.tgz: Patched a bug in ksystraycmd.
Thanks to Dirk Mueller for the patch.
n/wireless-tools-28-i486-2.tgz: Patched rc.wireless for ESSIDs with spaces.
Thanks to Bruneel Michaël and Eric Hameleers.
xap/imagemagick-6.2.8_8-i486-2.tgz: Reverted to ImageMagick-6.2.8-8 since
the "display" program in ImageMagick-6.2.9-0 crashes.
Thanks to Tomasz Luczak for the bug report.

Bumped /etc/slackware-version number to 11.0.0.

Thanks to Willy Sudiarto Raharjo.

Webgear wireless card.
chmod 644 /etc/pcmcia/*.opts.
a/pcmciautils-014-i486-2.tgz: Commented out line in config.opts for old
Webgear wireless card.
Moved man pages to /usr/man/man8, compressed with gzip.
a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-65.tgz: Don't run /lib/udev/rc.optical-symlinks in a
login shell, since the bug that required that kludge is now fixed.
a/udev-097-i486-3.tgz: Patched rc.optical-symlinks to be locale friendly.
Thanks to everyone who reported the bug, and to Michiel Broek and
Eric Hameleers for sending in patches.

Thanks to Piter Punk, Leonardo Roman, and George Iosif for the suggestion.
n/wireless-tools-28-i486-3.tgz: Fixed rc.wireless which contained a few ^M
that broke it. I think I did this saving the patch with my mailer -- sorry
about that.
xap/gnuplot-4.0.0-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled against new gd-2.0.33 package.
Thanks to Michael Iatrou for the suggestion.

This is mostly frozen now unless bugs (or irresistible upgrades) come up, so
I'll call this update Slackware 11.0 release candidate 2. :-)

d/kernel-headers-2.4.33-i386-2.tgz: Rebuilt.
k/kernel-source-2.4.33-noarch-2.tgz:
Updated the default .config to include SATA support.
Oh, and yes I did see 2.4.33.1. Thanks for letting me know ;-), but that
kernel does not seem to be booting here so I'll stick with 2.4.33 for now.
l/alsa-driver-1.0.11_2.4.33-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled.
Upgraded to alsa-driver-1.0.11 compiled for Linux 2.4.33.

Rebuilt with CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_RELAXED_CAP_CHECK=y in .config.

rootdisks/install.1: Updated. Thanks to Cal Peake for the idea about how to
improve the setup of swap partitions.
Updated most of the binaries on the installer, but not busybox. It seems
to be working fine, and the idea of messing with it now scares me. ;-)
rootdisks/install.2: Updated.
rootdisks/install.zip: Updated.
rootdisks/network.dsk: Fixed to probe for tg3 cards.
Thanks to Eric Hameleers and Bruce Hill, Jr.
Fixed module probing to work with 2.6 modules. Thanks to Piter Punk.

Here is Slackware 11.0 release candidate 3. I think most of the irresistible
upgrades are in here now, and the bug reports have been mostly handled.
There may still be a few changes, and possibly another release candidate,
but this is pretty close to final with the exception of updating
documentation and building ZipSlack. Thanks very much to everyone who is
helping to test these release candidates -- I think this is going to be a
very up to date and stable release. :-)
a/glibc-solibs-2.3.6-i486-5.tgz: Patched an issue with kernel version parsing
in ld-2.3.6.so that was leading glibc to treat 2.4 kernels with 4 version
parts (such as 2.4.33.2) as if they supported NPTL, leading to a crash
at boot.
a/glibc-zoneinfo-2.3.6-noarch-5.tgz: Updated timezone information from
tzdata2006j.
a/kernel-ide-2.4.33.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to 2.4.33.2 sata.i kernel.
Enabled support for OOM killer and HIGHMEM4G.
a/kernel-modules-2.4.33.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.33.2 modules.
a/udev-097-i486-6.tgz: Restore ttyUSB access to members of the tty group.
Thanks to Eugene Crosser.
In rc.udev, ignore lines that start with '#'.
Thanks to Ian Bates.
Removed hostap and hostap_cs dupes from blacklist.
Thanks to giovanni quadriglio.
Patched rc.optical-symlinks to avoid error messages with real SCSI devices
and the SCSI generic driver.
Thanks to Lorenzo Buzzi.
ap/lm_sensors-2.10.0-i486-1.tgz: Added lm_sensors-2.10.0, which contains the
libsensors library that KDE can use for hardware status monitoring.
ap/vim-7.0.066-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to vim 7.0.066.
Added reasonable default vimrc if none exists. Thanks to Eric Hameleers.
xap/vim-gvim-7.0.066-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to gvim 7.0.066 (requires vim).
d/kernel-headers-2.4.33.2-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.33.2 headers.
d/perl-5.8.8-i486-2.tgz: Upgraded to DBD-mysql-3.0006 and DBI-1.52.
Eugene Crosser reported that DBD compiled against an older version of
libmysqlclient no longer worked without a recompile. Just to be on the
safe side, everything linked with libmysqlclient is getting recompiled.
d/pkgconfig-0.21-i486-2.tgz: Export PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
k/kernel-source-2.4.33.2-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.33.2 source.

Fixed location of kdeglobals, removed font defaults but kept the
anti-aliasing fixes.
kde/koffice-1.5.2-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled against libmysqlclient and libruby.
kde/qt-3.3.6-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled against libmysqlclient, added symlink
in /usr/lib/pkgconfig to qt-mt.pc.
l/alsa-driver-1.0.11_2.4.33.2-i486-1.tgz: Recompiled for Linux 2.4.33.2.
l/glibc-2.3.6-i486-5.tgz: Patched an issue with kernel version parsing in
ld-2.3.6.so that was leading glibc to treat 2.4 kernels with 4 version parts
(such as 2.4.33.2) as if they supported NPTL, leading to a crash at boot.
Added sa_IN and ru_RU.CP1251 locale support.
Updated timezone information from tzdata2006j.

l/libvisual-0.4.0-i486-1.tgz: Added libvisual-0.4.0. Just the library for
now (no plugins), but this should make it much easier to compile and use
audio visualization plugins without having to recompile amaroK.

n/openldap-client-2.3.27-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to openldap-client-2.3.27.

extra/k3b/k3b-i18n-0.12.17-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to k3b-i18n-0.12.17.

isolinux/initrd.img: Upgraded USB/IEEE1394 modules to Linux 2.4.33.2.
isolinux/network.dsk: Upgraded network modules to Linux 2.4.33.2.
isolinux/pcmcia.dsk: Upgraded pcmcia modules to Linux 2.4.33.2.
rootdisks/install.1: Upgraded USB/IEEE1394 modules to Linux 2.4.33.2.
rootdisks/install.2: Upgraded USB/IEEE1394 modules to Linux 2.4.33.2.
rootdisks/install.zip: Upgraded USB/IEEE1394 modules to Linux 2.4.33.2.
rootdisks/network.dsk: Upgraded network modules to Linux 2.4.33.2.
rootdisks/pcmcia.dsk: Upgraded pcmcia network modules to Linux 2.4.33.2.
kernels/*: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.33.2 kernels, except the huge.s kernel.

After much thought and consultation with developers, it has been decided to
move 2.6.17.x out of /testing and into /extra. It runs stable by all reports,
has better wireless support, and is not going to be stale as soon. In
addition, HIGHMEM4G has been enabled. This caused no problems with my old
486 with 24MB (the one I use for compiling KDE ;-), and Tomas Matejicek has
enabled this in SLAX for a long time with no reports of problems, so I
believe it is a safe option (and is needed by many modern machines).
Thanks again to Andrea for building these kernels and packages. :-)

kernels/huge26.s/*: Upgraded huge26.s kernel to 2.6.17.11.
extra/linux-2.6.17.11/kernel-generic-2.6.17.11-i486-1.tgz:
Upgraded to Linux 2.6.17.11 generic kernel.
extra/linux-2.6.17.11/kernel-headers-2.6.17.11-i386-1.tgz:
Upgraded to Linux 2.6.17.11 kernel headers.
extra/linux-2.6.17.11/kernel-modules-2.6.17.11-i486-1.tgz
Upgraded to Linux 2.6.17.11 kernel modules.
Load PC speaker support in rc.modules. Thanks to NetrixTardis.
extra/linux-2.6.17.11/kernel-source-2.6.17.11-noarch-1.tgz
Upgraded to Linux 2.6.17.11 kernel source.

ap/vim-7.0.066-i486-2.tgz: Use the default vanilla system vimrc as distributed
with the vim sources. Thanks to J for mentioning that using vim with
'crontab -e' was working fine without any additions to the vimrc.
d/m4-1.4.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to m4-1.4.6.
l/libpng-1.2.12-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled so that libpng.so.* links to libz and
libm. This has been a point of contention for a long time with the PNG folks
maintaining that you shouldn't have to link libpng this way. Well, just
about everyone else builds libpng to link with -lz and -lm automatically,
but I've held my ground along with the PNG team (usually I will defer to
upstream and will send people there with these kinds of requests). Today
Janusz Dziemidowicz pointed out that if you build libpng with ./configure
that now it *is* linking to these. Good enough reason to end this problem
right now. Thanks Janusz, for pointing out that discrepancy and sending in
a patch. :-)
n/irssi-0.8.10a-i486-4.tgz: Removed duplicates and unformatted files from
docs/help directory. Thanks to James Michael Fultz.
x/dejavu-ttf/dejavu-ttf-2.9-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to dejavu-ttf-2.9.
Moved from /extra into the X series.
Thanks to the DejaVu team (http://dejavu.sf.net) for the superb work.
x/fontconfig-2.2.3-i486-2.tgz: Patched /etc/fonts.conf to favor the DejaVu
fonts over the Vera ones if they are present on the machine. US English
users should notice only minor (if any) differences with this patch,
but other users could see their language displayed properly out-of-the box
for the first time. :-)
x/x11-6.9.0-i486-9.tgz: Patched a PCF font parsing bug that could crash X.
Fixed the Greek keyboard layout. Thanks to Thanos Kyritsis.
Fixed ATI lockup bugs. Thanks to Mark Canter.
x/x11-devel-6.9.0-i486-9.tgz: Recompiled.
x/x11-xdmx-6.9.0-i486-9.tgz: Recompiled.
x/x11-xnest-6.9.0-i486-9.tgz: Recompiled.
x/x11-xvfb-6.9.0-i486-9.tgz: Recompiled.
xap/seamonkey-1.0.4-i486-3.tgz: Fixed world-writable docs.
Thanks to Piter Punk for pointing those out.
xap/vim-gvim-7.0.066-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled.
extra/lvm2/device-mapper-1.02.09-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to
device-mapper-1.02.09, moved out of /testing.
extra/lvm2/lvm2-2.02.09-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to LVM-2.02.09,
moved out of /testing.
extra/php5/php-5.1.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to php-5.1.6,
moved out of /testing.

a/util-linux-2.12r-i486-4.tgz: Fixed incorrect permissions on /var/lock.
Thanks to Steven Robson.
f/linux-howtos-20060829-noarch-1.tgz: Updated the HOWTOs again. I guess back
in February this must have been looking ready to release. ;-)
Thanks to Szymczak Artur for noticing the HOWTOs were stale.
x/x11-6.9.0-i486-10.tgz: Reverted the ATI hang patch after problem reports.
If you were helped by the patch it'll be held in /extra for the release so
that hopefully everyone can enjoy a working ATI card. :-)
Thanks again to Mark Canter, as this is a real problem but the patch does
seem to introduce some new issues of its own. It's good to have an
alternate driver just in case, though.
x/x11-devel-6.9.0-i486-10.tgz: Recompiled.
x/x11-xdmx-6.9.0-i486-10.tgz: Recompiled.

x/x11-xvfb-6.9.0-i486-10.tgz: Recompiled.
extra/slackpkg/slackpkg-2.09-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to slackpkg-2.09-noarch-1.
Thanks to Piter Punk.
extra/x11-radeon-patched/x11-radeon-patched-6.9.0-i486-1.tgz:
Here's the patched radeon module from the -9 X.Org Slackware packages.
There's a README file included with it explaining what it is for with
references to a discussion of the issue.
isolinux/initrd.img: Fixed an installer bug where setup would ask which
swap partitions you'd like to use and then conveniently set them all up
for you if you selected at least one. Thanks to DEF.
rootdisks/install.1: Fixed a bug where libraries that were moved to install.2
to make space on install.1 were needed by /bin/mount. Thanks to David Bray.
rootdisks/install.2: Moved a couple of libraries to install.1.
Fixed installer swap bug.
rootdisks/install.zip: Fixed installer swap bug.

I wasn't planning a Slackware 11.0 release candidate 4, but here we go.
a/kernel-ide-2.4.33.3-i486-1.tgz:
Upgraded to Linux 2.4.33.3 sata.i kernel.
a/kernel-modules-2.4.33.3-i486-1.tgz
Upgraded to Linux 2.4.33.3 kernel modules.
a/udev-097-i486-7.tgz: Make sure /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug exists before
writing to it. Thanks to Gary Hawco for the bug report.
Change log level from "crit" or "err" since udev doesn't support "crit".
Silly me, I saw some mention of syslog levels in the docs and assumed it
supported all of them. At least in unrecognized cases the default is "err"
anyway, so this bug didn't cause ill effects. Accuracy in documentation is,
nevertheless, always a good thing to strive for. (I'm referring here to
my own inaccurate additions to udev.conf...)
Thanks to Chris Vowden for pointing this out.
Don't fail to mount tmpfs on /dev because some other tmpfs mount exists.
Thanks to Ken Milmore for the patch.
Forget standards -- if k3b wants "/dev/writer" then that is good enough
justification for me. Try to make a link to the most full-featured burner.
Thanks to my good friend Dex Filmore.
Relaxed the perms on input events from 600 to 640 so that members of group
root can also read events. Mode 644 was suggested, but wouldn't that let
anyone on the box set up e.g. a keyboard logger? It didn't seem secure to
me, and 640 looks like a decent compromise.
Thanks to Jon Anders Skorpen.
ap/mysql-5.0.24a-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mysql-5.0.24a.
Evidently the ABI change in MySQL 5.0.24 was unintentional, so all the
packages that were recompiled before need another recompile. Oh well, maybe
this little exercise has fixed something else we didn't know about. :-)
d/kernel-headers-2.4.33.3-i386-1.tgz:
Upgraded to Linux 2.4.33.3 kernel headers.
d/perl-5.8.8-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled against libmysqlclient.
k/kernel-source-2.4.33.3-noarch-1.tgz
Upgraded to Linux 2.4.33.3 kernel source.
kde/koffice-1.5.2-i486-4.tgz: Recompiled against libmysqlclient.
kde/qt-3.3.6-i486-4.tgz: Recompiled against libmysqlclient.
l/alsa-driver-1.0.11_2.4.33.3-i486-1.tgz: Recompiled for Linux 2.4.33.3.
By the way, I did try ALSA 1.0.12 and noticed that emu10k1 wasn't compiling
for Linux 2.4.33.3. I think we are probably safer sticking with the well
tested ALSA 1.0.11 for the release.
n/bitchx-1.1-i486-5.tgz: Recompiled against libmysqlclient.
n/dhcp-3.0.4-i486-2.tgz: Fixed incorrect man page permissions.
Thanks to Jerome Pinot.
n/iptables-1.3.5-i486-2.tgz: Updated a rather ancient description file.
Thanks to Sean Donner for noticing that. I hope the many folks still
running Linux 2.2.x were adequately warned.
n/php-4.4.4-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled against libmysqlclient.
n/samba-3.0.23c-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to samba-3.0.23c.
n/sendmail-8.13.8-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled with official patch.
"(2006-08-30) If sendmail is used with -bs and a mail filter (milter) is
configured, an assertion can be triggered. This patch fixes the bug."
Thanks much to Jakub Jankowski for the heads up.
n/sendmail-cf-8.13.8-noarch-3.tgz
extra/ktorrent/ktorrent-2.0.2-i486-1.tgz: Added ktorrent-2.0.2.
Thanks to Erik Jan Tromp for showing me this one. I've always used the
command line BT clients (usually in "screen"), but this is nice, doesn't
require mainline BitTorrent or any non-KDE dependencies, and will work
great for downloading (and seeding) Slackware ISO images. :-)
extra/linux-wlan-ng/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre25_2.4.33.3-i486-1.tgz:
Recompiled for Linux 2.4.33.3.
extra/php5/php-5.1.6-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled against libmysqlclient.
bootdisks/*: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.33.3 kernels.
kernels/*: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.33.3 kernels, except the huge.s kernel.
In raid.s, switch from the megaraid to megaraid2 driver. This should
support everything the old driver did and then some. If there are
problems, let me know ASAP. Thanks to Michael Johnson.
isolinux/initrd.img: Upgraded USB/IEEE1394 modules to Linux 2.4.33.3.
Eric Hameleers and I did a bit more work on the NFS installer (in the
install.* rootdisks below, too). Now installing via NFS will attempt
to mount the root of the Slackware tree first, rather than only the
/slackware directory within. This (if successful), allows choosing
a kernel to install later on, just like installing from CD, DVD, or
hard drive. If it doesn't work (perhaps only /slackware is exported)
then the installer will fall back on the traditional behavior.
Thanks to everyone who suggested this idea from time to time, and
thanks to Eric for finally making it happen.
isolinux/network.dsk: Upgraded network modules to Linux 2.4.33.3.
isolinux/pcmcia.dsk: Upgraded pcmcia modules to Linux 2.4.33.3.
rootdisks/install.1: Upgraded USB/IEEE1394 modules to Linux 2.4.33.3.
rootdisks/install.2: Upgraded USB/IEEE1394 modules to Linux 2.4.33.3.
rootdisks/install.zip: Upgraded USB/IEEE1394 modules to Linux 2.4.33.3.
rootdisks/network.dsk: Upgraded network modules to Linux 2.4.33.3.
rootdisks/pcmcia.dsk: Upgraded pcmcia network modules to Linux 2.4.33.3.
I can be off topic here, right?
BIG congratulations to my little sister Jennifer on the birth of her
daughter Abigail Jane. Mazel Tov! :-)

guilherme for pointing out the error, and to J., who found the missing
'['. (It had fallen off my desk and ended up under a table)
kernels/System.map: Forgot to gzip a bunch of these. Thanks, Steve'o.

d/ruby-1.8.5-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to ruby-1.8.5.
Honestly, I'm not sure these next three will help at the moment, but we're
laying some groundwork for later when HAL will take over (and sing "Daisy").
l/libgpod-0.3.2-i486-1.tgz: Added libgpod-0.3.2.
l/libmtp-0.0.16-i486-1.tgz: Added libmtp-0.0.16.
l/libnjb-2.2.5-i486-1.tgz: Added libnjb-2.2.5.
kde/amarok-1.4.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to amarok-1.4.3. Added plugins linked
with libgpod, libmtp, and libnjb. Working status (even with a bit of DYI) is
not known (yet). It might require HAL to make it do anything at all.
n/bind-9.3.2_P1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to bind-9.3.2-P1.
This update addresses a denial of service vulnerability.
BIND's CHANGES file says this:
2066. [security] Handle SIG queries gracefully. [RT #16300]
The best discussion I've found is in FreeBSD's advisory, so here's a link:
http://security.FreeBSD.org/advisories/ ... 0.bind.asc
Also, fixed some missing man pages. (noticed by Xavier Thomassin -- thanks)
(* Security fix *)
y/bsd-games-2.13-i486-7.tgz: Snipped part of a crufty old patch that wouldn't
apply. Added an (unapplied) patch to make pom give you two more digits of
accuracy. I didn't apply it since it wasn't quite done; it should have the
traditional default (no decimal places) that everyone is used to, and an
arbitrary accuracy selectable with a command line switch. Perhaps it should
be rewritten to use gmp. Oh, and the man page will then need fixing.
Eric? ;-)

d/ruby-1.8.4-i486-2.tgz: As it would so happen, ruby-1.8.5 fixes a security
problem, but also breaks a considerable number of things, including Ruby on
Rails (RoR being one of the biggest appeals of Ruby), and other applications
that make interesting use of it. So, for now anyway -- back to 1.8.4.
kde/amarok-1.4.3-i486-2.tgz: This was the only thing that touched the tainted
Ruby. ;-) Seriously, this will all get straightened out, but we have a
release to do. Should we wait for everyone to adopt the new Ruby API/ABI?
Or must it be: "works" / "secure" -- pick one? :-) It's always best to use
the right tool for the job or you can get hurt. Remember shop class?
kde/kdesdk-3.5.4-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled with configure flags that allow the
apr libraries to be found. Thanks to Giacomo Lozito.
y/bsd-games-2.13-i486-8.tgz: "pom" now supports a reasonable number of digits
with a command line option, as noted in the man page. Default behavior has
not been changed (it is still a rounded integer percentage). My own patch
didn't live long enough to see birth in a stable release, but who cares. :-)
Thanks to Eric Hameleers (who loves a good time-waster) for the better patch.
I knew he wouldn't be able to resist this one. ;->
bootdisks/raid.s: Reverted to the old megaraid driver since regaraid2 is
already in the scsi2.s bootdisk.
kernels/huge26.s/*: Fixed USB keyboard support in the installer (at least
tested on CD/DVD media). Thanks to Bruce Hill, Jr. for pointing out that
this was no longer working.
Please note that if you install with this you still need kernel-modules
from /extra, and that there's no alsa-driver for this kernel because it's
all built into kernel-modules and kernel-headers (well, and the kernel :-).
ALSA 1.0.11/12 specifically DO NOT support these newer kernels. Check out
the SUPPORTED_KERNELS file in the alsa-driver source. Feel free to play
with various combinations (many DO work, but without any noticable
improvement to me). I try very hard to not break your sound system, but
I'm already bending the rules with alsa-driver-1.0.11_2.4.33.3...
Also, if you find bugs in stuff I don't ship, contact the appropriate
maintainer too, please. I am not the hg repository for everything I ship.
(I know, I do look remarkably similar ;-)
"Is this the spacecraft assembly building?"
kernels/raid.s/*: Moved from the megaraid2 driver to the old megaraid
driver, after it was pointed out that megaraid2 is already in scsi2.s.
