2.4.22-pre2-dis5 is released. Based on the 2.4 Bitkeeper tree as of this afternoon, it offers quite a few new features compared to dis4. I've worked with this one a lot over the past week or so, and only had minor issues (see the Notes section on the site).
As always, its available from http://www.gotontheinter.net/kernel/ ..
No preempt yet, and (unless someone else steps up to do the port) its not likely to happen anytime soon (the main swsusp developers have more pressing issues). In theory its not too difficult; just find -all- the places the kernel might reenable preemption and wrap them in disable_preempt() calls. Heh. In the meantime, this one includes lots of other new goodies (patched against 2.4.22-pre2, this patch includes the latest BK as of this afternoon):
- Low-latency (everyone wants it, now its here) - Supermount-NG 1.2.7 - Software Suspend 1.0-pre16 - 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! - New Radeon DRM (so you no longer need the one listed below) - BootSplash 3.0.7, with a new Configure.help entry and swsusp patches - O_DIRECT - Packet mode for 2.4.21 - Newest ACPI from Bitkeeper about 3-5 days ago. - Everything that was included in -dis4
Patches available against 2.4.21 and 2.4.22-pre2.
