Hi,

I have uploaded alpine 1.7.21_rc1.

It contains a kernel based on gentoo's hardened-sources-2.6.25-r4. Only
addition is a patch for vmware scsi and a backport (from 2.6.26) of a
pmtu fix.

Those who have upgraded to alpine 1.7.20 might have noticed that the
network interfaces was re-ordered. This is due to kernel api changes
in /sys. I have solved this by loading the modules in alias name order.
It means that when you upgrade to 1.7.21 your network interfces will
most likely be re-ordered again, but future upgrades should keep
interfaces in same order.

I plan to release 1.7.21 this week, unless something urgent shows up.

Please test it. Thanks!

Downloaded and starting using right away.

Noticed the cciss driver is here and it works. Now I can start using  
it on bigger servers. Lets see how many vservers I can have going on  
one of these boxes :)

Thanks
