Description

Release annonucement at http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0802.1/0384.html. There's a report that this one doesn't boot, but not yet confirmed whether this is a 2.6.24->2.6.24.1 regression (http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0802.1/0545.html). 2.6.24 boots for me, so I'll test 2.6.24.1 now.

Linux rhea 2.6.24.1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Feb 9 12:45:11 CET 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

It works/boots well.
