I've made numerous builds since RC1, but all of them have had at least some kind of known issue, so I would prefer to wait until we can put out a real "Release Candidate". That said, the release engineers could sure use help with the following things : 1) x86 floppy overflow. The Linux module requires sysvipc, but this has not been made into a module on -STABLE. There are a number of possible solutions. a. MFC the module code. (Large impact, risky.) b. Put sysvipc back in the boot kernel, and remove other features or devices. (safest, but what to remove?) c. Put sysvipc back in the boot kernel, and accept one of Matt or Ian's patches to remove macro bloat. (nice solution, but a little risky to touch NFS code and other area this late in the cycle). 2) Building X on the Alpha. The 3.3.6a patch causes all kinds of problems on the Alpha architecture. =20 Any ideas?
