As I'm sure you are aware, there are more known regressions remaining |
| 9 |
this time around. As with some others, I'm not all that confident this |
| 10 |
kernel was ready for release just yet. Oh, well, I suppose there'll be a |
| 11 |
2.6.21.1 and etc... |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I'm running (vanilla) rc7-git10 ATM, and have two possible regressions |
| 14 |
remaining here, which <details> kept me from properly testing and bugging |
| 15 |
upstream in a timely manner. Both are regressions as they worked before, |
| 16 |
but I'm not yet totally sure they are kernel regressions. Briefly, |
| 17 |
amd64, (1) system clock to hardware clock isn't syncing now, I'm not sure |
| 18 |
about hw2system as I use ntp, and (2) X was restoring after suspend to |
| 19 |
disk, but now breaks, such that I immediately return to the console the |
| 20 |
first time I try to switch to it after a suspend, and I must restart X. |
| 21 |
I'm still working on isolating both of them to the kernel, and didn't |
| 22 |
notice them until after rc7. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Just heads-up on bugs you may see... if others who haven't been testing |
| 25 |
run into them as well. |
