Linux 2.6.0-test9 Released

keesh writes "Linux kernel 2.6.0-test9 is now out. Changes include SATA support and XFS and CIFS fixes. Because of the change freeze, this is a fairly minor update. In the announcement, Linus suggests that -test10 will be the final release before 2.6.0-final. Don't forget to use a mirror."

    I see one of the icons for this story is a compact disc. That's just plain mean.

  2. Still the same error, propagated from kernel 2.2 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    I submitted several bugs to the bug tracker, I e-mailed Alan Cox and Lunis Torvalds, and I still get the same error when trying to run it:

    kernel-2.6.0-test9.tar.bz2 is not a valid Win32 application

    and then the error message with Ok and Cancel.

    Anyone has any howto on whether this bug will ever be fixed? Or is there a service pack or a patch I missed?

    Wow, really helpful! :)
    I'll just take your word for it and you just saved me the effort of actually checking the hash.
    Your ideas on hash-check-optimizing might even revolutionize the whole industry.
    Plus imaginary authentication feels so much safer!
