I have three more patches for 2.6.7 in my list - The kerntypes patch linux-2.6.5-s390-base-12-april2004.diff This patch hasn't been accepted into the official BitKeeper because the discussion how to do post mortem problem determination isn't finished yet. Redhat has its own "crash" analysis tool whereas we at ibm prefer "lcrash". - The multicast notifier patch linux-2.6.5-s390-04-26-april2004.diff This patch adds another multicast notifier chain that reports all addresses. The standard notifier doesn't report all. The final solution will be to merge these two notifiers but this might affect other network drivers so we introduces this interim solution. - The zfcp module_exit vs. lun/port object kfree patch This is part of the patch linux-2.6.5-s390-base-07-april2004.diff I reverted a part of the patch to get the rest of the zfcp patches integrated into the official BitKeeper. Greg strongly objected against the kfree trick so we had to remove it. Currently I have 4 patches pending against BitKeeper, these are the above patches without the dirty bit patch and the xip2fs patch. The dirty bit patch has been added to -bk shortly after the release of 2.6.7 and the xip2fs is currently reworked based on suggestions from Andrew Morton. blue skies, Martin Linux/390 Design & Development, IBM Deutschland Entwicklung GmbH Sch�naicherstr. 220, D-71032 B�blingen, Telefon: 49 - (0)7031 - 16-2247 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
