I think many people on this list will be delighted to read this. I'm looking for the 22-pre to help testing them (UP)... As alan said, increasing the user test base may cause to find some remaining bugs but as many people are already forced to patch their 2.4 kernel with aic7xxx and ACPI just to make it useable most severe/obvious bugs have probably already been found... I think SMP server users will also be happy with the rest of proposed fixes. Side comments just to try to make 2.4 even better : I think polling the list to see the most annoying problems or most requested feature people have/want is sometime a good idea. Of course you will always get mail from people that what a patch to have support for their baroque hardware but I think you may reach a consensus rapidly as in the previous (rude) mail exchanges. Hope you will manage to spend the needed time to make this in a timely fashion. -- __ / ` Eric Valette /-- __ o _. 6 rue Paul Le Flem (___, / (_(_(__ 35740 Pace Tel: +33 (0)2 99 85 26 76 Fax: +33 (0)2 99 85 26 76 E-mail: eric.valette@free.fr - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
