Changes from 1.3.22 to 1.3.23

These changes are archived on ftp.crynwr.com:pub/kchanges and http://www.crynwr.com/kchanges. I cannot answer questions about Linux -- I merely summarize the kernel patches after reading them. I try to make them useful to everyone, but kernel hackers should take them with a grain of salt and read the patches themselves. The patch file is patch-1.3.23.gz

These are from Linus:

I just made 1.3.23 available, as 1.3.22 had a few problems that made it more-or-less unusable for some people. I hope 1.3.23 fixes the bootup panic with the SLIP driver. It should also be better at recognizing harddisk partitions, but maybe the numbering changed a bit.

If you have problems mounting some of your partitions, could you please check the bootup messages about the partitioning? It should look something like this: 

Partition check:
  hda: xxx
  hdb: xxx

and I'd be interested to hear about differences in output between 1.3.23 and earlier kernels..
