x86:
=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.4.9: is OK
(i done:  make allyesconfig, build custom kernel,booting, checking dmesg log)
Please mark stable for x86.

Stable for HPPA.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to push for stabilization of 3.4.10 since it only includes a single extra patch, which fixes a fatal installation bug?  Forgive me if this is the wrong place to bring it up.

Comment 5 Raymond Jennings 2012-09-03 15:50:05 UTC

If it's a critical patch I'd agree, otherwise I think stick with 3.4.9.

As it is, 3.3.8 is the highest stable version presently on x86 and it's already EOL upstream, so I'd personally prefer that delays are minimized.

My two cents.

Comment 6 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev

3.4.10 seems to have introduced an Intel kernel driver problem that might cause trouble for a lot of users. I'm not really able to analyse it because the screen simply stays black in 2/3 attempts to boot and bugs.freedesktop.org is currently down. 3.4.9 as well as >= 3.5.0 are fine.

Greg K-H even mentioned it in the release post: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/26/157

Comment 7 Raymond Jennings 2012-09-09 08:06:27 UTC

Just ran into a huge problem with corrupted vm something on 3.3.8.

Not trying to be pushy but I'd appreciate if this bug was stepped up a bit in urgency.

Marked ppc/ppc64 stable.

arm stable

What is holding up x86?

Comment 11 Ben Kohler gentoo-dev

I think it's a serious problem that this (to-be-)stable kernel version still suffers from the "RESOLVED" bug #432604, which prevents new installs w/ genkernel.  I hope x86 skips this stabilization and goes for 3.5.7 per bug #438798.
