It's been around long enough now, please mark gentoo-sources-2.6.25-r6 stable.

It fixes various bugs that we haven't fixed in earlier kernels: #198215 #207413 #208843 #212842 #216639 #217387 #221095 #221741 #222013

It also includes security fixes that we have not backported to 2.6.24 (time constraints and no kernel security guy)

We don't have any reported regressions over 2.6.24

==== AMD64 AT REPORT ====

*Installation[OK] 
*No test
*Functionality:
Seems to work fine here, with nvidia-drivers-173.14.09 and virtualbox-modules-1.6.2.

I now have the following installed on sparc:
=========================
Linux polylepis 2.6.25-gentoo-r6-SB1000 #4 SMP Tue Jul 1 18:07:15 UTC 2008 sparc64 sun4u TI UltraSparc III (Cheetah) GNU/Linux
=========================
This is an asymmetric multiprocessor using Elite (afb) video and it requires the qla2xxx.ko module and the firmware  ql2200_fw.bin provided by sys-block/qla-fc-firmware-20071207-r1.

SInce the system has been up for only a bit over 18 hours, I can't call the kernel stable yet, but it looks good so far.

Thanks

same here, tested three boxen, all run rock solid 2.6.25-gentoo-r6
BUT: tested, one laptop, with ipw2200 wireless card. I tried all 2.6.25-gentoo-rX iterations: WPA (psk or radius-based) and WPA2 don't work any more, this kernel is currently not usable on my setup.

Stable for HPPA.

The problem is that iwl4965 driver has a lot of problems for me with the included version in 2.6.25 like bug #218565 :-/

Ok, I think we are done with most issues...some regressions always occur, all needed packages are stabled, so x86 done and closing.
