2.5.1 is hopefully a good interim stage - many block drivers should work fine, but many more do not. However, the pre-patches were getting largish, so I'd rather do a 2.5.1 than wait for all the details. As to other stuff - note the separation of drivers for new and old tulip chips: if you have an old 2104x tulip chip (as opposed to the newer 2114x chips) the regular tulip driver doesn't work any more for you. Don't be surprised, select CONFIG_DE2104X. Linus ----- final: - Al Viro: floppy_eject cleanup, mount cleanups - Jens Axboe: bio updates - Ingo Molnar: mempool fixes - GOTO Masanori: Fix O_DIRECT error handling
