ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.0-test4/2.6.0-test4-mm2/ . Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk> is having trouble getting good testing reports against some current PCMCIA/Cardbus problems. If any problems are observed in this area please ensure that Russell is told: - make/model of machine - type of cardbus bridge (from lspci) - type of card (pcmcia or cardbus) - make/model of card - full kernel dmesg (including yenta, card services messages) - cardmgr messages from system log . There's a fix here for the ext3 htree code on big-endian machines. It can corrupt directories, so anyone using 2.6.0-test4 with ext3/htree should apply broken-out/htree-big-endian-fix.patch. . test4-mm2 includes the first batch of preparatory work for a larger dev_t, from Al Viro.
