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-1.3.32.gz
These are from Linus:
Due to the silly SCSI tape problem, and generally my moving machines
here at the university I decide I might as well release a 1.3.32 kernel
to get me in sync at the new machine. This release
- fixes SCSI tape (and IP_FORWARD) compilations
- fixes a few alpha compilation problems (the SMP patches did bite the
alpha) and adds the patches from David M-T
- changes the default config for Linux/x86 to use IDE CD-ROMs instead
of SCSI. Guess what the new university machine has? ;-)
- fixes the warning of recursive dependencies in the math emulator
- cleans up the NFS client code in the kernel quite a bit, thanks to
Olaf Kirch.
- better ksymoops.cc program that does disassembly too.
