16 I'm testing 3.2.7 right now. I'll have it up soon.
17
18 @pipacs, I've had reports of 3.2.2-r1 kernels having problems booting.
19 idl0r gave me a bzImage which will not boot in qemu. Using the same
20 kernel config, 3.2.7 *will* boot. The problem occurs shortly after
21 decompression but before any early printk. Is this a known issue that
22 has been fixed or should I continue to try to isolate the problem? As I
23 said it seems to be gone in later kernels.

25 our hardened-sources-3.2.2-r1 = grsecurity-2.2.2-3.2.2-201201272014
26
27 the 3.2.7 which I will put up in a bit is the very latest which came out
28 today.
