Linux 2.6.26-rc9 Kernel Released
Posted by Michael Larabel on July 06, 2008
If you were hoping that Linux 2.6.26-rc8 would be the last release candidate and the Linux 2.6.26 kernel would be released over the Independence Day weekend here in the US, guess again. There was enough fallout from the 2.6.26-rc8 release that Linus Torvalds has decided to issue a Linux 2.6.26-rc9 kernel release. This update brings a number of fixes, but there still are quite a few regressions and other problems. There are a few security fixes, fix Intel Mac booting with EFI, VFS fixes, and many other changes. Making up the bulk of the Linux 2.6.26-rc9 kernel is a new UVC video driver for the standard USB Video Class specification. The Linux 2.6.26-rc9 announcement can be read on LKML.org.
