It is out, the official site is of course kernel.org, but be sure to check your local mirrors (usually www.country.kernel.org). Here is the long Changelog, major changes include suspend-to-RAM, more IDE and VFS fixes, and kbuild. Linux Weekly has the news too, and a summary of the changes."

    2.2.21 is out (for those who refuse/can't upgrade)

    Funny you should mention that. I actually have a box that kernel panics on boot on all 2.4 kernels. Is there any way I can capture anything useful from the dump to send off somewhere? I suppose I could put the console on serial and capture it with minicom on another box, but are there extended diagnostics I can turn on to maximize the dumpage? It fails pretty early in the boot process.
