[parisc-linux] 2.5 status 2002-11-02

[Matthew Wilcox]

It's been a busy week.  Linus took 1.8MB of patches from us; the first
merge since 2.4.0-pre10.  Which means we went from:

-rw-r--r--    1 willy    willy     2779759 Oct 28 10:37 parisc-2.5.44.diff
-rw-r--r--    1 willy    willy     1052278 Nov  2 08:20 parisc-2.5.diff

which is a big improvement.  I've sent Linus another 600k of patches
(mostly moving drivers from arch/parisc/kernel to drivers/parisc).
The 2.5.45 merge is done (thanks, Paul!) which included lots of excitement
porting our Config.in patches to the new Kconfig.  Grant & Tausq did
some stellar debugging on our stability problems.  Still crashes on my
712, but Helge has it working on his C3000 (32-bit), and I think Grant
said it booted on his A500 (64-bit).  SMP now links but doesn't boot.
Helge's been cleaning up the STI drivers and is taking care of merging
this upstream.  Ryan's fixing Zalon SCSI support, and John fixed a
2-year-old bug, as well as some more recent ones.

Thanks to everyone who's helping.  It's great working with you.
