    Don't use unsigned (fix unsigned comparison warning).
    Bump patchlevel.
  Thanks to Gary Carvell.
Added 2.6.30.5 generic Linux kernel packages in /testing.  Release time
is getting close, so we're sticking with the 2.6.29.6 kernels as the main
kernels for Slackware 13.0.  Besides, we know of at least one tricky issue
with 2.6.30.x and the LILO bootloader, and the workaround that we know of
likely isn't going to work on BIOSes older than 2001.  Be sure to read the
README_FIRST.TXT (really!) in the directory with the kernel packages if you
intend to try these.
testing/packages/linux-2.6.30.5/kernel-firmware-2.6.30.5-noarch-1_testing.txz:
  Added.
testing/packages/linux-2.6.30.5/kernel-generic-2.6.30.5-x86_64-1_testing.txz:

  Added.

  Added.
testing/packages/linux-2.6.30.5/kernel-source-2.6.30.5-noarch-1_testing.txz:
  Added.
+--------------------------+
2.6.30.x的内核终于官方出现了。不过30的内核和lilo在老机器上有问题，上面提到要看readme先。
不过大部分的人估计还是没有问题的。
