[SUMMARY] Testing 2.6.10 on sparc

[Jurij Smakov <jurij@wooyd.org>]

Hello,

Thanks to everyone who tested 2.6.10 on their machines. This poll provided
lots of valuable information, detailing the potential RC problems for the 
new kernel version. I have summarized it by category on the 
SparcKernelStatus wiki page [0]. Feel free to correct and update it.

It looks like the debian-kernel and debian-boot team have agreed [1] that 
the next candidate release of installer (RC3) will still feature 2.6.8 
kernel (the new version of which, taking care of bug #288180, will 
hopefully get uploaded soon). After that, depending on the time frame for 
sarge release and status of RC bugs, 2.6.10 might be given a chance to 
enter testing. Most architectures already have or are busy preparing the 
2.6.10 kernel for unstable. So if you feel like fixing one of the bugs, 
dig right in :-).
