I didn't detect any regressions or new problems for this version and it continues to run on the following machines: * rx4640 (w/Madison) * rx2620 (w/Montecito) * rx2660 (w/Montecito) * rx6600 (w/Montvale) * rx2800 i2 (w/Tukwila) ..., as could be expected from the positive test results of all v6.7 release candidates on the same selection of machines. Tomas maintains the ia64 patchset for Linux on [1] and you can find the per Linux release (candidate) source code used for regular testing on [2]. Please use the `[...]-w-ia64` branches. [1]: https://github.com/lenticularis39/linux-ia64/ [2]: https://github.com/johnny-mnemonic/linux-ia64/ **** On the way to v6.7-w-ia64 we also managed to solve the mm problem on the rx6600. The patch is on [3] at the moment and should be looking familiar to loongson developers because there was a similar problem for loongson ([4]) after 61167ad5fecd got merged. Therefore Linux v6.7-w-ia64 is the first release since v6.4 that works unmodified on the rx6600.

[5]: https://www.ports.debian.org/ [6]: https://www.gentoo.org/downloads/#ia64 [7]: https://t2sde.org/#news-2023-12-05 **** Thank you all for your hard work on Linux! Cheers, Frank et al
