Info

Testing times (summary) • lscfg updated to show platform specific information. Tied more closely to device-tree. • Synthesised VPD for SCSI and Ethernet adapters from information in the device-tree. • Distro kernels used sym53c8xx driver. Oops. . . • . . . added IRQ-matching hack to compensate for broken bus numbers. • Released version 0.8.4 as part of SourceForge.net linux-diag project in May 2003. • Move various bits towards being ‘hotplug useful’. 27/33
