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. amd64 stable 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. 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. 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 Just ran into a huge problem with corrupted vm something on 3.3.8. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=434400 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? 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.
