Hi, Looks to me like kernel 2.0.34 is more than just a bugfix release. The aic7xxx/pci driver changed *completely* with the result that my adaptec 2940AU no longer seems to work. I'd agree with the suggestion that 2.0.33 be kept around a bit longer. J. Goldman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMA

1998-06-06 Thread Raul Miller
I would like to recommend that linux 2.0.34 be made available as a part of hamm. This is because 2.0.34 is a bugfix-only upgrade to 2.0.33. However, I don't think we have enough experience with 2.0.34 to eliminate 2.0.33 from the distribution. So both should be available. -- Raul -- To UNSU
