Download Linux Kernel 2.6.0 Test4
Linus Torvalds has the fourth beta version of Linux kernel 2.6.0 released† In this release we find updates for IA64 systems, new video capture drivers and improved SCSI drivers. In addition, the AGP and ACPI drivers have received an update. The change log is here to read. The Linux guru states the following:
There should be a lot of compile fixes here, along with updates for ia64, nand the (painful) move of the ‘name’ entry out of the “struct device” that helps avoid unnecessary memory waste.
It’s a lot of small stuff all over: nothing really stands out in diffstat,
except the big update of the Zoran video capture driver, and the blkmtd driver – both updated from their respective development trees (and the ips scsi driver, but that was due to massive whitespace fixing).
Normal merges with Andrew and arch maintainers (x86-64, ia64, sparc64, arm), and AGP updates (notably the merging of the ATI IGP). And network driver updates, ACPI and power management infrastructure.
