2.5 Problem Report Status

[Thomas Molina]

I've ordered a couple of extra IDE disks and removable drive caddies to 
test "stock" 2.5 IDE and floppy code.  I should have a system I can 
destroy about mid-week.  

The daily updated version of this status report can be found at:

Items marked closed with a kernel version have not had recent comments.  
They will be archived when Linus issues the next version of 2.5.X.

   Notes:
   The sigmask problem is marked closed. Linus has spoken and I've 
appended his remarks.

   The  state of the IDE subsystem in 2.5 is in too much of a flux for 
tracking problems to be fruitful. I probably won't
   add any new ones until feature freeze unless specifically requested.

   Floppy support is currently broken in 2.5. Higher priority items are 
delaying work on a fix.
