Linux kernel 2.5.57

Linus Torvalds heeft blijkbaar niks te doen gehad de afgelopen dagen, want je kunt weer een nieuwe kernel gaan uittesten. Deze keer kun je dit doen in de vorm van kernelversie 2.5.57. De Linux-goeroe laat ons weten wat de belangrijkste veranderingen zijn:

Ok, Alan worked on fixing the network packet padding thing (small changes
to a _lot_ of network drivers), and merged some more of his IDE work.
And latency fixes and some VM updates from Andrew Morton.

Ppc, ppc64, ISDN and sparc updates. NFSd and sysfs updates.

And special mention for Brian Gerst, who figured out and fixed a x86 page
table initialization fix that would leave old machines unable to boot
2.5.x. That might explain a number of the "I can't run 2.5.x" that weren't
seen by developers (most developers tend to have hardware studly enough
that they'd never see the problem).
