Kernel prepatch 5.9-rc6

([Kernel] Sep 21, 2020 0:22 UTC (Mon) (corbet))


The [1]5.9-rc6 kernel prepatch is out. " The one thing that does show up in the diffstat is the softscroll removal (both fbcon and vgacon), and there are people who want to save that, but we'll see if some maintainer steps up. I'm not willing to resurrect it in the broken form it was in, so I doubt that will happen in 5.9, but we'll see what happens. "

Well, first you have to find a good source of obsidean, a couple of sharp
