I've updated the kernel on peri/penalosa with the various patches listed there that have gone upstream, but I'm not seeing better results with any failing packages. btw, I thought it would be useful to edit that page and tag each patch with its status in Debian (in-official-kernel, installed-on-buildds, etc), but the page appears to be immutable. -- dann frazier -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-parisc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
