- Removed mactel patch
The removal of these patches was because a) there are no new patches available for 2.6.25 and b) I am trying to reduce the amount of patching, especially if it only benefits a few people or can be potentially dangerous. As far as I know, the mactel patch is required for some hardware support on intel-based mac systems and contains important fixes. This does not seem

I also am using arch on my mac, and I find this essential and should not be removed if you find 2.6.25 compatible patchs (I am sure that they will come out in not so many time)

Hi, I would suggest to test the new kernel on your mac before complaining, perhaps it supports it better now. And if after that much time this patch is necessary for such common hardware and hasn't been imported upstream, I think you should contact the LKML. Dimitris
