Subject: 2.4.22-pre6-dis6 released

After a long wait, 2.4.22-pre6-dis6 is finally out. It includes both
preempt and swsusp-1.0.2, the two things I was waiting for.

*New webpage* Details and downloads at http://www.gotontheinter.net/

If other people using this have custom DSDTs, send them to me and I'll
add them in as a config option to save some effort. Ditto for any other
useful patches you'd like to see in dis7 (which should be out a lot
faster than dis6 was. Unless I get more requests, it'll just be an
update of existing features/patches to the newest version.)

The only known issue so far is that usb-uhci and swsusp don't get along
(khubd can't be refridgerated). Rmmod usb-uhci or (suggested) stop
hotplug before suspending.

If anyone other than myself and Mighty are using this, toss a comment
into that page to let me know what you think.. (if its just us I'll stop
bothering the list with announcements ;) ..)

New Stuff:
- Swsusp 1.0.2
- Preempt
Old Stuff:
- Low-latency
- Supermount-NG 1.2.7
- New DSDT (from Adrian Dewhurst) for the Inspiron 8500. Fixes lots of
vendor bugs and is basically the fix I was hoping to avoid doing. Thanks
Adrian!
