    Hi,

    Here goes -pre7...

    It adds the laptop "mode" functionality already present in recent SuSE/RH
    kernels, adds the megaraid2 (improved, faster, but not so extensively
    tested as the old megaraid) driver, adds BIOS EDD (enhanced disk
    detection) support, contains a USB update, network update, amongst other
    fixes.

    I hope we enter -rc stage in more or less one month.
