Hello arch porters,
Most arches has 2.6.29 packages ready (AFAIK only hppa lacks them
right now) and I also did most changes for all arches on SVN to get
2.6.29 updating as easy as possible. Now, we need porters' help.
Please check your pet arch and update the kernel and modules for
2.6.29. This is quite important to us to start testing installer with
this kernel.
Well, 2.6.29 does not even boot on my SunBlade 1000, failing early in
the boot process:
I guess you found the culprit in the mean time (bad config for the 64bit
kernel)?
