1 Hi all,
2
3 I'd like to ask for more testers for sys-kernel/genkernel-3.5.2.5, so
4 that it soon be stabilized for early CPU microcode loading with the
5 Meltdown/Spectre vulnerabilities. I'm thinking there will probably be a
6 3.5.2.6 with a further fix for bug #505810, but that only affects users
7 who generate kernel packages by genkernel. Maybe a workaround for
8 #616734 as well.
9
10 Blocking issues:
11 - bug #505810: --modulespackage/--minkernpackage are broken due to a
12 regression from the --no-install patch.
13
14 Issues needing testing:
15 - bug #624176: failure of mount.zfs on non-ZFS systems
16 - bug #642988: dmraid not seeing lvm2?
17 - bug #439214: mdadm auto-detection
18 - bug #455266: don't use /dev/disk/by-uuid/ in fstab
19
20 Other known issues:
21 - bug #616734: usr/gen_init_cpio not built before needed sometimes
22
23 Other notices:
24 - ZFS support is being discontinued. Please move to another initramfs
25 program (bug #627320, TL;DR newer ZFS needed udev in initramfs; bug
26 #636244).
