[SLUG] 2.6.8 release info ?

[Rod Butcher]

The issues of 2.6.8 causing trouble booting (apparently caused by 
changed SATA SCSI default), broken terminal and trouble cd burning 
reported by some, seems to point to things being tweaked / changed / 
corrected in this release rather than bugs - but I can't find release 
info - anybody know where it is, i.e. what changed / new default 
configurations, drivers / features etc ? Couldn't find it in the tarball 
or at kernel.org.
cheers
Rod

Just to let you know, there's a problem with 2.6.8 that means that you
can't write to CDs (not sure if this is the case when using scsi/scsi
emulation or just when writing directly to ATAPI drives).

I can burn CDs just fine on this box which is running a 2.6.8 kernel.
/dev/cdrom is a symlink to /dev/scd0
 

I had to drop back to 2.6.7 for this reason so I thought I'd give you a
heads up.
