Hi
new kernel 2.6.14 went up to testing, some major arch changes were done with
this release.
This kernel replaces the -scsi kernel and introduces full initrd support.
That means that ALL of YOU out there need to modify your bootloaders to use
the initrd, else you run into a kernel panic. Would be good if you have the
arch install cd by hand, to be able to fix your system if something goes wrong.

To configure your initrd change /etc/initrd.conf to your needs and run
'mkinitrd auto' afterwards, else a basic initrd is used with all possible modules.

All subsystems should work (crypt is in developement atm, and will probably
not work yet). I could only test IDE systems, so all others are welcomed to
report success on SATA,RAID or SCSI devices.

关於内核本身，2.6.14的新内核有什麽新特性？跟2.6.13.x对比有何不同？

对于arch来说，最大的不同在于需要在menu.1st中加入initrd的位置了，因为从这个版本开始，再没有kernel26-ide和kernel26-scsi包的分别。
