Linux Kernel 2.6.20 with PlayStation 3 support

Posted by JLP on February 5th, 2007

Linus Torvalds has just released a new version of the Linux kernel. Version 2.6.20 features new virtualisation options: KVM (which uses hardware capabilities of AMD and Intel processors) and a paravirtualisation implementation (which can be used by hypervisors like Xen and VMware). The new kernel also sports an official support for PlayStation 3 which has been contributed by Sony. It’s still not complete, but it’s a good start. Developers have also added support for UDF-Lite protocol, which brings advantages for transport of multimedia over networks. Support for compilation optimisations for Intel Core 2 was added. There are also many other new features and new drivers in this version. For easy to read information check out Linux 2.6.20 @ Kernel Newbies. For complete list of changes see the Linux 2.6.20 ChangeLog. After reading all this don’t forget to download the full Linux 2.6.20 source code.
