Linux 2.6.39-rc5 Kernel Released

Posted by Michael Larabel on April 27, 2011

Linus Torvalds has released the Linux 2.6.39-rc5 kernel. This latest test kernel doesn't yet have a fix for the major power consumption regressions, but it has block layer plugging fixes, driver regression fixes, and a big RCU
pathname merge.

The Linux 2.6.39-rc5 kernel release announcement can be read at LKML.org. As Linus says, go forth and test.
