Supporting 2.6.27 in Lenny? - Long term support
I posted this message on debian-devel and I was asked to post on debian-kernel. So here it is: First of all I apologize if this has been brought up somewhere else. It seems that on LKML it was announced that 2.6.27 will be a long term support kernel: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/11/235 Since we haven't released Lenny yet (freeze state I believe), wouldn't it be a good idea to include 2.6.27 as the default Lenny kernel instead of 2.6.26? Most of the newer release of other distributions like Fedora, Ubuntu, and openSUSE are going to be based on 2.6.27 http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/14/322 Also I am not a DD so I might not be aware 100% of the freeze policy as I ask this question.

Bug#498702: additional comment: PATA HD not detected
Quote from #495273: I've crossposted this to every relevant debian bug I could find with: http://www.google.com/search?q=site:bugs.debian.org+marvell+88se6121 I believe the bug to be caused by the regression under discussion in this thread: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/968813 It looks like Alan Cox's patch will be in 2.6.27, and in the meantime you can achieve a work around by rebuilding your initrd to load pata_marvell before ahci.

Bug#502792: initramfs-tools: mkinitramfs-kpkg ignores UMASK setting
Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.92l Hello, upgrading kernels always produces 0644 initrd.imgs while upgrading initramfs-tools as well as manual update-initramfs calls produce 0600 initrd.imgs. The only difference I found is that kernel postinst scripts use mkinitramfs-kpkg instead of update-initramfs, so I guess this is the guilty party. I have loop-aes-utils installed which sets UMASK=0077 in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf.d/loopaes. This seems to be respected by update-initramfs but not by mkinitramfs-kpkg. regards Mario -- To err is human.
