new kernels
2.1.7 and 2.0.25 are out.
remember you have a very good collection of unofficial patches at
http://www.ecsnet.com/html/linux_upatch.html collected off the Usenet
circles.
for those wondering about the news in those last two stable kernels, here
goes: (also available at http://www.ecsnet.com/ - great site!)
Linux 2.0.25 Patch - patch-2.0.25.gz
Fix for P6 Local APIC Spurious Interrupt Bug
IDE Tape Update - Automatically cros encountered filemarks rather
than requiring an explicit FSF command. Abort pending requests

returning incorrect results.

lower (but in card spec) delays

Update to AM53C974 SCSI Driver to load as a module.
