Updated AmigaOne 2.6.8 and 2.6.16.35 Linux kernels are now available on amigaone-linux.sourceforge.net.




Changes:
- Recompiled the 2.6.8 kernel, as there was a minor bug in the platform setup code.
- The 2.6.8 kernel includes modules for MacOnLinux 0.9.70:

- Removed the transfer request limit for IDE LBA48 devices:
