The above hint should take effect with tomorrow's britney run, with the effect that the 2.6.6 kernel-image packages for i386 will be removed from sarge at dinstall on the 14th, and will be held out pending resolution of this RC bug. Are there any RC issues with the 2.6.5 kernels that warrant keeping a close watch on this issue going forward? Are there other architectures that would be affected by this bug?
