I hesitate to bring this up since we're still working out kernel upgrade issues for stale security updates in the other thread, but I'm seeing users who need a newer kernel such as 2.6.11 to install with. Since rc3 is out, it's occurred to me that we could change our linux-kernel-di-* packages in unstable to use bleeding edge kernels again and change the daily builds to build using those. When/if we need to change the kernel udebs in sarge, we can upload them to testing-proposed-updates; the lack of autobuilders will not be a problem in this case. Possible problems I can see: - It might be hard to test a set of kernel udebs in t-p-u before accepting them to testing, since d-i does not know how to use t-p-u. This should only be a problem if some large change is put into t-p-u. - Until base-installer (or rootskel) is also updated in unstable, it will still install 2.6.8/2.4.27 kernels by default, so users might be able to install but not boot. This could be worked around in expert mode though. -- see shy jo
