Download Linux Kernel 2.6.4

Anonymous: 81046 found a new release of the Linux 2.6 kernel on Kernel.org. The release goes through life as 2.6.4 and is from this server available in different flavors. Linus Torvalds reports that in 2.6.4 adjustments have mainly been made for the PPC64 platform. The full changelog is up this page Behold, below are the Linux guru’s release notes posted:

A few small fixes since -rc3, most notably an OHCI bug that would corrupt memory and seems to have been the reason for the “Bad page flags” bug at least on ppc64 (it’s not been reported on x86, as far as I know, but I don’t see why the corruption couldn’t have happened there too).

The full changelog from 2.6.3 is on the ftp-sites along with the patches and tar-balls, and the BK trees have been updated.
