Call for Testing

External Since: Jan 06, 2007 Posts: 13

Hi,

I've backported some more patches to 2.6.8 for possible[1] inclusion in
sarge (they fix some possibly important bits).

You can find kernels here:
http://www.parisc-linux.org/~kyle/debian-kernel/2005-03-27/

I'd appreciate it if everyone could take 10 minutes so we can get good
coverage testing these fixes, to make sure there are no regressions
from the kernels already in sarge. If you could test the sarge kernels
too, that would be fantastic.

Please reply either to the list, or to me personally with the dmesg
output from a boot, and what machine(s) you were able to test on.

Thanks,
Kyle

[1]: The release team has "effectively" frozen all kernels from propogating
to sarge. But I think it's worth keeping fixes around, even if they
don't get included immediately.

Hello Kyle,

so i consider kernel-image-2.6.8-2-32_2.6.8-7_hppa.deb, ok?

I tried for the first time to boot an initrd.img but unfortunaltely it failed to complete the boot (boot log):

well my custom config is CONFIG_SCSI_ZALON=y while your CONFIG_SCSI_ZALON=m so should be loaded?

Any idea?
