Linux 2.4.23-pre7
From: Marcelo Tosatti
Date: Thu Oct 09 2003 - 19:54:53 EST
Hi,
Here goes -pre7...
It adds the laptop "mode" functionality already present in recent SuSE/RH
kernels, adds the megaraid2 (improved, faster, but not so extensively
tested as the old megaraid) driver, adds BIOS EDD (enhanced disk
detection) support, contains a USB update, network update, amongst other
fixes.
I hope we enter -rc stage in more or less one month.
