Ping Dave Jones: Serious issues with kernel-2.6.17

Sat Jul 1 00:24:11 UTC 2006

Lots of sweeping changes in 2.6.17 that I've read about on kernel dev,
and a few seem to be badly broken.

I realize that this is +UPSTREAM, but regardless, any progress/comments?

Also a few networking issues posted on this list.

I'm only anxious for a kernel upgrade in the hope it will solve an issue
with 2.6.16 ACPI poweroff - which it doesn't on my system, currently,
but given the state of 2.6.17, I think I might hold out for the next
major kernel release, before going anywhere near it.
