Kernel Linux 7.0 abandona driver EDAC do Intel 440BX

O kernel Linux 7.0 removeu o driver EDAC para o chipset Intel 440BX com 28 anos. Essa mudança representa outra despedida ao chipset lendário de placa-mãe. No entanto, o legado do chipset persiste de várias maneiras.

O lançamento do kernel Linux 7.0 inclui o abandono do driver de Detecção e Correção de Erros (EDAC) projetado especificamente para o chipset Intel 440BX. Introduzido há 28 anos, o 440BX tornou-se um componente renomado nos designs de placas-mãe, suportando uma ampla gama de sistemas durante sua era. Essa remoção destaca a evolução contínua do kernel Linux, descartando o suporte para componentes de hardware antigos. O Tom's Hardware observa que, embora o driver EDAC tenha sido removido, o legado do Intel 440BX continua a influenciar a história da computação. A decisão está alinhada com os esforços para otimizar o kernel eliminando drivers obsoletos. Não há cronograma específico detalhado para o processo de remoção além de sua inclusão no kernel 7.0. O chipset, outrora central em muitas configurações de PC, agora vê seu suporte direto do kernel diminuir ainda mais.
