This announces the release of Linux/68k-2.0.25.
This release is compatible with the native 2.0.25 kernel.
The number of patches is not as large as it often is but I see
that as a sign of things are getting better.
Here is a list of the most important changes:
Jesper Skov:
o new SCSI drivers for the CyberStorm MkII and Blizzard 1230IV/1260
SCSI modules.
o Addtional cleanups of card detection for the existing Phase 5
boards in order to avoid the FastLane being detected as
a CyberStorm etc.
John Shifflett:
o fixed the no_DMA_use_PIO bug, more proc functionality, and a
'nodma' command-line option.
Bernd Harries:
o fixed a bug in atari_MIDI.c
Roman Hodek:
o Documentation/Configure.help: extended some Atari Configure.help
entries.
o arch/m68k/Makefile: cleaned up the cross compiling stuff. Cross
binaries are now called e.g. 'm68k-linux-gcc'. This makes the
fewest assumptions about the user's setup, since the binaries can
reside in any directory, provided that's in $PATH. Also now
utilizing the $(CROSS_COMPILE) variable of the main Makefile. Also,
if CONFIG_KERNEL_ELF is not set, correctly m68k-linuxaout-gcc & Co.
are used.
o drivers/sound/Makefile: Added an empty 'mkscript' target in the
m68k part, to make 'make xconfig' happy again :-)
o drivers/block/acsi.c: can now be built as a module; kmalloc()
converted into __get_free_pages() to save 16k-16 wasted memory.
o drivers/block/acsi_slm.c: now a module, too, depending on acsi.o.
Geert Uytterhoeven:
o made ide.c compile again on the i386.
Joerg Dorchain:
o module support for the existing wd33c93 based drivers (A2091, A3000
and GVP). If you use kerneld, you may want to add a line like
alias scsi_hostadapter gvp11
to your /etc/conf.modules to let the magic happen.
o fixed DMA direction bug in the wd33c93 driver.
Myself:
o various minor patches (well I gotta write something ;-)
o updated the description for gvp11 in kernel-options.txt.
The new kernel as well as a set of pre-compiled kernels, one for the
Atari and one for the Amiga (vmlinux-2.0.25-Atari.tar.gz and
vmlinux-2.0.25-Amiga.tar.gz respectively) are available at
SunSITE.auc.dk, under /pub/os/linux/680x0/v2.0. These files will
hopefully be available at the mirrors in a day or two.
