Unattended 4.0 Release Candidate 2 is available from
<http://unattended.sourceforge.net/testing/>.
Download the main distribution (unattended-4.0rc2.tar.gz), plus one or
both of the -dosboot and -linuxboot tarballs. Extract everything to
the same place.
Changes since 4.0rc1:
- Added support for I2O DPT/Adaptec RAID controllers like the
Adaptec 2100S. The driver which *should* work (dpt_i20) is marked
as "broken" in the 2.6.3 kernel. I am not sure what that means,
but the generic I2O SCSI driver (i2o_core) will try to support
these devices if you pass "dpt=1" as a module parameter, so I did.
I think. This is completely untested; I just took some guesses
after reading the kernel sources...
- Added support for gigabit Ethernet adapters based on the
SysKonnect GEnesis chipset (sk98lin), such as the 3c2000.
- Added support for Adaptec Ultra320 adapters (aic79xx).
- Enabled interrupts in the IDE driver, which will help prevent us
from losing clock ticks. Seems to have worked on my laptop test
system, anyway.
- Fixed a longstanding bug in the DOS bootdisk Makefile. Thanks to
Chris Johnson.
- Fixed a problem where Perl created hard links under
linuxaux/opt/perl/bin. These cause problems (zero-length files)
if you try to extract the distribution using Windows unzipper.
- Probably some other stuff I forgot.
And that is it. This release is already way overdue with way, way too
many changes for my taste. I am releasing it as 4.0 tomorrow night
(U.S. Eastern time) if at all possible. So report problems within the
next 24 hours or be prepared to wait.
Thanks!
- Pat
