I pointed this out on IRC, but just to make sure it hits the list... Turning of PREEMPT will change the module ABI. ia64 also has PREEMPT turned on in 2.6.8 (following suit w/ x86), and I've left it on for this reason. If this is considered worth another ABI change, then I'll disable PREEMPT on ia64 as well. -- dann frazier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Guys, if you change the ABI on me again right now, I may have to take a 3 month vacation and come back and look at releasing d-i again after that. I mean really, I've been hounding you guys for over a *month* and you still don't have -2 ABI kernels even built for all arches, much less available in testing. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Wow - I didn't realize we hadn't even finished -2 yet; looks like hppa (and possibly m68k - can't say, they don't use kernel-tree) still haven't been built against the source w/ the new ABI. I've got an hppa box if you guys need help. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Mostly the problem has been me not having time to finish backporting stuff from CVS head. I've 2.6.8-2 images almost ready to go at http://www.parisc-linux.org/~kyle/debian-kernel/.
