Intrepid and 2.6.27
As I talked about in my last blog post we are considering moving to 2.6.27 for Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex. Ben posted this RFC to the ubuntu-devel list which outlines the rationale and technical benefits. This came late in the Intrepid development cycle and as such comes with risk and lots of questions such as:
As it stands now we shipped 2.6.27rc4 with Intrepid Alpha5. We noticed some big suspend/resume issues with Alpha5. I noticed these issues on the 3 dell notebooks that I have. We will be updating to 2.6.27rc5 shortly which should resolve the issues and fix even more bugs.
Hope folks find this useful...
