Which adds one more warning (the third one below) to my build log:
| ide.c:175: warning: `ide_scan_direction' defined but not used
| ide-lib.c:174: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast
| binfmt_elf.c:446: warning: `files' might be used uninitialized in this function
Seems to be harmless, though.
Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
Geert

Hello Geert and Marcelo,
it turns oout that the warning is bogus, and trivially fixed. Marcelo, you may
want to apply the attached patch.
Cheers,
Andreas.

Can you, please(!!), tell me if this release fixes all the known
security problems that compromise root? :)
There's a lot of information available and some people says that
everything is "good" in recent vanilla-preX. Others says it isn't.
Anyone brave enough to answer? :-)
Regards,
Nuno Silva

As far as I know, all known security problems are fixed. All security
fixes from -ac are in mainline.
So if anyone knows any security problem which is not fixed yet, please
inform me.

radeon is still broken. Looks obvious since it was broken for me
since -pre6, and -pre8 didn't change anything apparently... but
I decided to give -pre8 a spin anyway.
To my surprise, the framebuffer didn't go wild as it happened in
earlier occasions - as in here:
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0307.2/0732.html
However, firing startx resulted in a black screen and a hard hang
(had to keep the poweroff button for 10" to actually power off).
So I tried booting -pre8 again, and this time the framebuffer went
wild again. It looks like there is a timing issue perhaps ?
I'm available for testing and debugging this - so far I'm stuck
with -pre4 which is the latest working.
Thanks in advance for any help/insight.
