Looking at FS#8948 and FS#8949, I don't think it's wise to put this one into core.
This kernel is somehow broken. Are those alsa and cfs patches really needed? Afaik the vanilla kernel does not have those problems.
I wonder where this latest cfs scheduler patch comes from. The header says 2.6.23.8 v24, the filename says 2.6.23.11 v24 and the upstream site only has 2.6.23.9 v24.
Was this .11 patch we have some hacked up 2.6.23.8 patch to compile with .11?
Ugh, I retract my signoff. Alsa is broken here, I hadn't bothered to check that, but once I saw an email about it on the arch-general list I did and noticed I had the same problem. 1. My fault for signing off here too early- I shouldn't do that, although see my next point. 2. I should be able to signoff on a minor version bump of a kernel without too many concerns- however, we make huge changes in each one. Do we REALLY need to bump the ALSA snapshot every single time? If it causes issues like this, that is unacceptable. For the one person's bug you might fix, you just broke every other users sound. 3. Instead of saying "plz signoff", we should post changelogs for upgrades (or say version bump only). You did say "updated alsa", but it sounds like cfs was updated too and that wasn't reported. -Dan
