Hi Skateman,

Thanks a lot for testing the RC1.

Cheers,

Couldn't keep up with all the speedy alphas, but back on board with a working rc1.

Thank you for testing the RC1.

Hi All,

Linus Torvalds has withdrawn the RC1 because of the file system corruption issue through a swapfile. This issue has been resolved with today's latest Git code. Please don't use the RC1 if you work with a swapfile. I will create a new RC1 with the swapfile patch.
I don't use any swapfiles and swap partitions on my AmigaOnes so I am luckily not affected.
