As I'm sure you are aware, there are more known regressions remaining this time around. As with some others, I'm not all that confident this kernel was ready for release just yet. Oh, well, I suppose there'll be a 2.6.21.1 and etc... I'm running (vanilla) rc7-git10 ATM, and have two possible regressions remaining here, which
kept me from properly testing and bugging upstream in a timely manner. Both are regressions as they worked before, but I'm not yet totally sure they are kernel regressions. Briefly, amd64, (1) system clock to hardware clock isn't syncing now, I'm not sure about hw2system as I use ntp, and (2) X was restoring after suspend to disk, but now breaks, such that I immediately return to the console the first time I try to switch to it after a suspend, and I must restart X. I'm still working on isolating both of them to the kernel, and didn't notice them until after rc7. Just heads-up on bugs you may see... if others who haven't been testing run into them as well. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
