Now that Pierre fixed lirc for us (neither tpowa nor I were able to do it due to time constraints), here is the signoff for 2.6.33 and the related modules. Please sign off, so we can finally move 2.6.33.

I am using this kernel for quite a long time now. Sign off for both arches. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

The current kernel has several issues. One major are NFS lockups. A fix is in the stable queue. This is a stopper to me. Beside this it has sound issues on my notebook introduced by the MSI changes. It also has KMS issues related to MSI. The KMS can be solved by using UMS or boot option pci=nomsi. There's a new stable release review just going. Grek has 156 patches in review. I think we should wait for 2.6.33.2 and maybe even longer. There's no need to hurry. Moving the kernel will also force us to move mesa/libdrm for new nouveau and ati drivers. -Andy

It would be easier to track these issues if you open a bug report for these and link to the upstream reports/patches. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

Last time I search bugs.archlinux.org for "2.6.33", there were no hits.

With 2.6.33.2 my issues seems fixed. No nfs lockup so far. Some hardware like my notebook may still need the pci=nomsi boot option. Signoff x86_64 for my Ati notebook + Nouveau desktop. -Andy

That definitely won't happen, as these packages don't work at all for me - the X server simply crashes within a few minutes.

You cannot move the .33 kernel without the corresponding Xorg packages. There's an Intel driver update pending that Jan wants to do. Xorg with KMS just depends deeply on the kernel drm interface. So far I don't know of any useful crash reports in our tracker. Neither for Nouveau/Ati nor Intel. And there's definitely no need to rush. The kernel and Xorg are independent from all other rebuilds. But for sure they should be moved before mesa7.8 and Xorg1.8 will go to testing. -Andy
