Hi,
please signoff the 3.0 series for both architectures.
Note: the upgrade path from 3.0-2 to 3.0.1-1 is not entirely smooth if you rely on the vmlinuz26 compat symlink. However, the upgrade path from core/kernel26 to this version is smooth.
Upstream changes: http://kernelnewbies.org/LinuxChanges
Arch Linux Changes: - Rename the package: kernel26 -> linux - Added necessary replaces=(...) - Removed old comments and vercmps from .install file - Removed old comments and replaces from PKGBUILD - added compatibility symlinks for the old kernel and initramfs filenames in order to not break existing bootloader entries (only affects upgrades, not new installations) - removed System.map file, not needed anymore as we provide /proc/kallsyms
I haven't upgraded from 3.0-2 to 3.0.1-1 yet, but thought I would get some clarification. I'm assuming the reference to fixing your bootloader means having edited the kernel and initramfs lines to point to vmlinuz-linux and initramfs-linux.img and initramfs-fallback-linux.img. The reason for clarification is, we all know when one assumes something you make an "ass out of u and me".
If that's correct I should have it made, it's the first thing I did when I installed the new linux 3.0 kernel.

You are right.
It boots and everything seems to work fine. A check of dmesg doesn't show any problems. If you accept signoffs from users you have mine for x86_64. -- Life's fun when your sick and psychotic!
