pl15b has a new bug in the ex2fs code, which was introduced when
trying to fix a goal out of bounds warning message. This is fixed in
pl15c. Probably we better go to pl15c if nothing bad happens in the
next few days. pl15 is not more stable than the late pl14 or the new
pl15 alphas so it is probably best to follow the alpha route but
better after waiting a few days if something bad shows up.
I am now running pl15c. in the few hours that it is running it has
not shown any bad behaviour.
And I just managed for the first time to create a kernel with mitsumi
cdrom driver which does not screw up the complete local net. The
default IO address 300 of this driver goes straight to the network
card on my computer. And one misbehaving network card is enough to
bring down a complete local net.
