cset-20030822_1902.txt.gz was 65143 bytes (Aug 22 17:02, from
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/testing/cset/ )
and now patch-2.4.22-rc2-rc3.gz is 1184422 bytes. What is the
so big difference in between?

$ diffstat patch-2.4.22-rc2-rc3 | wc
   1123 3457 80999

$ diffstat patch-2.4.22-rc2-rc3 | grep mips | wc

  So, 85% of the files touched were mips/mips64 specific.

Hi Marcelo,

it's OK for me, both on my Dual Athlon and my VAIO (ACPI still OK BTW).
I also encountered the unresolved dependency that Eyal reported for tc35815,
but that's harmless (cf Ralf).

Cheers,
Willy

ACPI is still working perfectly for me on my Asus P4S8X. No USB or 
ethernet problems like with 2.6. No odd ACPI warnings or non-fatal 
errors either.
Whatever these fixes are, they should also go in 2.6 ASAP. :-)

Rock on!
