Kernels Made of Gold

Hackers,

I have made a single kernel that should work on SUSE 9.x, SLES9, and
NLD--including SUSE 9.2. Indeed, these kernels are straight from the
head of our CVS tree and are fresh and clean.

SMP:
http://primates.ximian.com/~rml/kernel-rml/suse-92-i586/kernel-smp-2.6.8-707.inotify.0.i586.rpm
http://primates.ximian.com/~rml/kernel-rml/suse-92-i586/kernel-smp-nongpl-2.6.8-707.inotify.0.i586.rpm

UP:

Note the new nongpl package. This is a SUSE 9.2 thing to differentiate
between supported and unsupported drivers.

I have also built snapshots WITHOUT INOTIFY, directly out of our kernel
CVS:

These are basically exactly what is in SUSE 9.2, plus a few updates.
Any problems reported on the inotify version would be wonderful if
tested on the non-inotify version.

Using any of these kernels on a distribution earlier than SUSE 9.2 will
result in the new requirement of being root to burn CD's. This is due
to a change in CD ioctl(2) security permissions. You can either burn as
root or use the packages from SUSE 9.2 on your earlier system. I will
get us rebuilt packages for earlier distributions when I get a chance.

The inotify in here is basically the same as the last 757 package. No
API/ABI changes.

Everything else should work as it did before. But since this is a much
newer kernel, you never know.
