    Linux Kernel,

    The Dolphin PCI-SCI Scalable Coherent Interface drivers v1.2-2
    have been posted at vger.timpanogas.org:/sci/pci-sci-1.2-2 and are
    avaialble for download in tar.gz and .src.rpm (RedHat Package Manager)
    formats. These drivers are released under the GPL, and are freely
    redistributable in both tar.gz and RPM formats.

    Please direct any comments or bug reports to jmerkey@timpanogas.org
    or linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org.

    NOTES:

    This release has some minor changes to the RPM spec files to support
    cloned installs more easily. The scripts have been updated to perform
    a 'uname -r' search for the linux kernel source tree, and will
    automatically create a symbolic link during .src.rpm builds or rebuild
    if one does not exist to /usr/src/linux.

    The RPM specs have also been made a little smarter, and will allow
    binary RPM packages to install in cloned systems that have not been
    previoulsy installed with a complete kernel source tree.

    These changes are useful for folks who build the rpm drivers on
    a master system, then wish to simply perform a binary RPM install
    onto a series of cloned cluster nodes without requiring a fully
    configured Linux source tree to be present on each target system.

    This release also corrects an SMP/non-SMP autodetection error when
    attempting to install binary RPM drivers onto a system that does
    not have a properly configured kernel source tree present.
