Kernel 2.6.1 Released

Posted by michael on from the stable-goodness dept.

jnf writes "And so he said it is released, and then jumped on a plane to Australia. Linus announced the release of 2.6.1 a few minutes ago, fixes include AGPGART, a fork() bugfix, and misc changes to XFS, and those are just the patches applied since v2.6.1-rc3. Full changelog is avialable, kernel at the usual places, i held off posting this until kernel.org was updated." 2.6.0 is now in Debian unstable...

    "The trick is that you actually have to configure your kernel to include the support for your particular controller."

    Unacceptable. Plain and simple.

    Wouldn't that imply that I'd have a working kernel to work with? I don't think you understood my gripe: I can't INSTALL it on an SATA drive! So how can I modify a kernel I can't even install in the first place??

    You should just do like the Debian guys and give up.
