Hi, I guess I owe you all an update of the status of the upcoming release.
First of all thanks to Petar for reminding me that the 2.6.17 kernel works fine with his sata controller. I took the big grain of salt and started to reconfigure our 2.6.21 kernel with the 2.6.17 kernel configuration lacking any other idea. Completely revamping that configuration that close to a stable release is something I totally wanted to avoid. There's always the danger of screwing up royalty when 'wiping the table'. Tough this time it was the key to success to fix this sata problem. Till today I revamped the kernel and it's module so that yoper now also has all kernel modules provided as smp modules. That is one more important step towards 'out of the box' . There are so many cheap dual core systems / laptops in the wild ( wish I had one ;D ) The ISO - 135 will be the first one to test as RC1 candidate. There are surely minor hickups left and there is certainly also some polishing needed. But sata support was the last big hurdle for RC1. So one more time to start through and get it done. Let's get this party started :) . Looking forward to your contributions and even more important to your test reports ! regards -- Tobias Gerschner Member of Board of Yoper Linux Ltd.
