Linux: 2.6.15-rc5-mm3, Time To Track Down Bugs

Andrew Morton [interview] released the 2.6.15-rc5-mm3 kernel noting that he'll be "non-functional" from today December 16'th through January 2'nd. Due to his absence he suggests, "when reporting any bugs please be extra careful to Cc the appropriate developer and mailing list."

2.6.15-rc5-mm3 is the first 2.6-mm kernel to require gcc-3.2.x or later for all architectures [story], a change that may eventually be merged into Linus' 2.6 stable Linux tree. Andrew went on to list half a dozen bugs that still aren't resolved from rc5-mm1 noting, "we need to get these things fixed up before maintainers merge into 2.6.16, please. I'll be checking!"
