[arch-dev-public] [signoff] kernel26-lts 2.6.27.33-1
New LTS kernel. No changes to the config, no further patching. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/887240 and because of a build issue http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/887529 I'd like to move it soon to core. Please give signoffs. If you don't use it try it out if it works for you as fallback and can boot into shell with a clean dmesg. Thanks. -Andy

Personal signoff from me, boots OK with a clean dmesg on i686 with reiserfs root, did not test X. Glenn

X and (probably) alsa is broken on my desktop and notebook; so its not really usable for me. And I am not sure if ACPI/suspend etc. works. Are those acceptable losses for your kernel? If its for server usage only you might want to disable all those unneeded or broken features. -- Pierre Schmitz, http://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

X should work with vesa and other non drm related drivers. I'm not sure if the current also userspace stuff is still supporting that kernel. I haven't tested it. No idea why it fails for you. Maybe a simple alsaconf can bring it back. At least I'd like to keep shipping sound modules. There are server running mpd that need a configured card. I don't want to strip out everything that maybe no more fully operate on current desktops. There's still situations where it might be helpfull to have such stuff included (e.g. running "corporate" desktops). To me these are no stoppers. But if something is completely broken for the future I can remove modules for the next release. -Andy
