Signoff x86_64. The following is not related to the kernel itself, but in case when somebody builds a device driver alone, the installation script may not know about *.ko.gz files and install "duplicates" which may crash the system. It's just happened to me with the latest gspca webcam drivers. Cheers, Sergey

This kernel version breaks b44 support an Dell Vostro laptops and maybe others. Arch Forum: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=886857 The reason and a solution is discussed here: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/184c7cd190a... I have just build a new kernel26 package from abs tree with the fix in swiotlb.c - it works well :-) Maybe a small patch can be included into the Arch PKGBUILD, until the kernel hackers have a working vanilla kernel again... ? -- regards, Tino Reichardt

Signoff 4x i686 -- OK, 2x x86_64 -- OK, 1x MSI box - no boot, back to 2.6.37-4. 6 out of 7 -- great! Any wagers on 2.6.37-6 on the MSI box? I'll bet it works :p -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
