Linux 2.5.24-dj1
Probably the last before I join the cabal^Wothers in Ottawa, so it flushes everything of importance I had pending, and resyncs with Linus' latest and greatest.
I'll try and keep up with anything that turns up during the following week (time & network connection permitting), but with 99% of the regulars otherwise occupied at KS/OLS, I imagine it'll be a quiet week.
As usual,..
Patch against 2.5.24 vanilla is available from:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/davej/patches/2.5/
Merged patch archive: http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/patches/merged/
Check http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/Linux-2.5.html before reporting known bugs that are also in mainline.

When I tried to copy around 500Mb of files between two filesystems on the same hard-drive, I got the following message on the console:
hda: error: DMA in progress...
and the system seems to get stuck - I can't kill the cp with ctrl-c, nor can I get getty to let me log in on another console.
However, the kernel still forwards IP traffic and I presume is managing to tickle my hardware watchdog as the system doesn't automatically reboot.
Hopefully, the relevant part of my boot output follows.

When I am not doing intensive disk activity, it seems to last longer - it has been up one and a half hours so far and hasn't crashed yet, doing a mixture of mail reading and running distributed.net.

I forgot to say:
The previous version of the kernel that I used before 2.5.24-dj1 was 2.5.20-dj4, which has served me reliably for a week or so - I tried the above copy on 2.5.20-dj4 and it works fine.
