For those users running unstable (ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~mips"), I've marked |
2 |
mips-sources-2.6.9-r4 as unstable. Those running Indy/Indigo2-class systems, |
3 |
be wary, as this specific kernel version didn't stay up too long for me on my |
4 |
Indy, but that was a bootcd kernel, and it probably had bugs. If IP22 users |
5 |
get it to run for several days, then it's probably just my end. |
6 |
|
7 |
IP32, IP30, and Cobalt users should have no problems running this kernel. |
8 |
IP30 (Octane) users need to include "ip30" in their USE flags in order for the |
9 |
ebuild to apply the Octane patch. Cobalt users will need to include "cobalt" |
10 |
in their USE as well, but the Cobalt profiles should do this already. When in |
11 |
doubt, check your `emerge info` output and see what USE flags are set. |

|
13 |
This specific revision also includes several security fixes, including the new |
14 |
CAN-2004-0883 (smbfs bug) fix, and a fix for a mips-specific ptrace vuln. |
15 |
|
16 |
Users running stable setups probably don't want to play with this kernel |
17 |
unless they know what they are doing. </disclaimer> |
