Meet Linux Kernel 2.6.2, 'Feisty Dunnart'
hatrisc writes "As of about 10:04 pm on February 3rd, Linux users can grab the official 2.6.2 kernel release from kernel.org.
A lot of PPC fixes. Changelog is here." omniru writes "Linux kernel 2.6.2 aka 'Feisty Dunnart' released," and adds some possibly useful information "about Dunnarts, in case you've never heard of them before. Changes include ACPI, Bluetooth, USB, XFS and many more improvements and fixes." gowdy suggests eager downloaders use a mirror.
Here's a clearer (and much cuter) picture of a Fat-tailed Dunnart (Sminthopsis crassicaudata crassicaudata).
Awwwwwww....
WARNING: If accidentally read, induce vomiting.
Looks like Linus's trip "down under" inspired this kernel release... the Dunnart is a type of Australian marsupial. The Tasmanian Devil is probably the best known example.
Actually, to correct myself, the Tasmanian Devil is not a type of Dunnart, although they both belong to the genus "Sminthopsis".
Well with any luck this should include the changes which means that XFS on an NFS server doesn't suck royally

[XFS] Seperate the NFS reference cache code out from xfs_rw.c to simpli
fy management of different kernel versions.
Hopeing that fixes it

why do you upgrade to a stable release without significant new features?
It only takes around a minute ("yum update" for me on Fedora 1) so I figure what the heck... since I power down for the nights anyway it's not a problem.
For those who dont know what a bluetooth SCO means: SCO stands for synchronous, connection-oriented and its mainly used for voice transport. (mono pcm 8bits 14Khz, if my memory serves me well, but can also be vocalic encoded). But can also be for other realtime relaible communications (video, signaling).
*gasp*

I had the same problem. The patches found at http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/#routes solved the problems.
I intend to send a "minimal" patch to Marcelo soon.
Yes, ACLs are supported on most filesystems. Ext2/Ext3, JFS, XFS, and the /dev/pts fs. No ReiserFS yet though :(
They really have a 1 Gbit/s connection, but it's (voluntarily) throttled to 250Mbit/s.
radeon 7000, 32 mb...works fine in 2.6.1 for me. OpenGL is pretty quick, too.
A really good summary of the new features of the 2.6 kernels is in Dave Jones' the Halloween 2.0 document. It also points out a lot of the common problems people have when migrating from 2.4 to 2.6 and how to work around them, so it's well worth a read.

Note that you need to add the mount option "acl" for the ext3 filesystem. It is documented in the latest tune2fs manpage. Then you can use "setfacl" (the version in RH9 is usable) to set the ACL like this:

It was more than inspiration. Linus did a charitable fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis, and offered to name the next release after the Austrialian animal of the highest bidder's choice. Someone gave a few thousand dollars ($3600 to be exact) to choose this name. Next Linux kernel to get Aussie name

Call me a Karma whore, but the parent is right, this is exactly the kind of legitimate use BT was made for. (Plus hey, I'm running my orn tracker and made the torrent, so I should get something for my trouble and Karma is about all I'm likely to get.

2.4.x -> 2.6.x is quite a big step to get right.
I followed this 'how-to' here, and then added some other stuff needed to do also (linked on the page).

I had some trouble with this, too. I don't know how SuSE handles it, but the solution for me was:
- xconfig & Compile alsa modules for my hardware.
- get & build alsa-tools (or utils?) from alsa.org
- run KDE & use the sound-settings utility to set up the alsa mixer properly.
Then everything seemed to be OK...Craig
It is there, the problem I've been seeing is that if you don't have a card in the reader on boot (module load) then the partitions don't get read and you can't mount it if you swap cards out. Quite annoying.
Ugh.
