Linux 2.6.27-rc9 Kernel Released
Posted by Michael Larabel on October 07, 2008
The Linux 2.6.27-rc8 kernel was expected to be the last release candidate before Linux 2.6.27 goes gold, but that wasn't the case. Linus Torvalds has today announced the release of Linux 2.6.27-rc9. This release has a few regression fixes that Linus would like to have tested for a few days before declaring a releasable kernel. This new kernel does contain the Intel e1000e regression fix that had killed network hardware with earlier releases. A GART mapping issue is also fixed along with a performance regression for some AMD Turion notebooks. The release announcement for Linux 2.6.27-rc9 can be read at LKML.org.
