Download Linux Kernel 2.5.69

bkor was the first of many to take us to kernel.org sent for the new Linux development kernel. In version 2.5.69 the bug that caused random crashes when X-server was using AGP has been fixed. According to Linus it is slowly time for a first release date for version 2.6.x:

OK,
I finally found the reason for why some of my machines had trouble with
restarting the X server, and it turns out that it’s been around since very
early February. I bet others must have seen it too, with random crashes on
X server restart when the server used AGP (which means that it mainly hit
either hw-accelerated 3D setups or the intel integrated graphics which use
a UMA model with AGP as the backing store).

That’s a big relief for me, as it was the major thing I personally worried
about for 2.6.x.

Anyway, that’s fixed here, along with a lot of other updates. much of
2.5.69 is small one-liners to drivers to handle the new IRQ semantics, but
there’s a lot of other cleanups in there too (Christoph Hellwig continued
on his devfs rampage, for example).

NOTE! As of this release I think I’ll want to have patches either be
_really_ obvious, or they should go through one of more people for
approval. In particular, I’m hoping that the paperwork stuff with Andrew
should be getting closer to finalized, and that we could start moving over
towards a 2.6.x release schedule..
