Linux Kernel 2.6.0-test10 Released

Posted by michael on from the any-day-now dept.

antrix angler writes "Linus Torvalds released the 2.6.0-test10 Linux kernel today, tentatively calling it the "stoned beaver" release. Linus plans to hand the kernel over to Andrew Morton in a few weeks, and then it will be up to Andrew to decide when we see the final 2.6.0 stable kernel. Download it from a mirror."

    All new releases of Linux kernel must henceforth be released under this license. Guarantees protection, no matter how much SCO screws with the code!

    Why don't you RTFA? This release is tentatively called the "stoned beaver" release (beavers are _almost_ as good as weasels, as I'm sure Scott Adams would agree).

    That either means that the kernel is quite dead, possibly after being unfaithful to Mrs. Beaver, or that the kernel is on weed? [keanu]Whoa[/keanu]!

    So... is the nVidia 'drivers' going to work with 2.6? What about the hcf modem 'drivers'? I can't see anything or even connect outside localhost on my test of -test9 on this machine. I'm running 2.4.20 on this box because the hcf module doesn't seem to work well with anything higher.

    perhaps I need to do more testing, but, 2.6 seems to break a lot of things that are very important for my machine.

    Am I alone?
