Download Linux Kernel 2.6.0 Test2

Yesterday the second Linux test kernel of the 2.6.0 branch was released. For example, this new release includes a new sound driver and minor code changes to USB, ISDN, ACPI and network drivers. The full list of changes is up this page to read. Below is the summary from Linus Torvalds:

Lots of small updates and fixes all over the map (diffstat shows a flat profile, except for the DVB merge, the new wl3501 driver, and the new sound drivers from Alan).

An example: Alexander Atanasov fixed an UP APIC handling bug, which in turn explained the IDE problems with irq disabling, and allowed IDE to be fixed up. yay!

Alan started doing forward-porting of 2.4.x driver updates, and Andrew is merging the fixes from his tree. And janitorial cleanups.

Various architectures are congealing: sparc64, ia64, alpha, m68k, ppc32, v850 and s390 all had updates.

Network (and network driver) fixes, ISDN slowly getting there, ACPI, DVB and USB updates.

And a number of people worked on (and fixed) SCSI queue handling issues with the anticipatory scheduler.
