Push out 2.6.38-linode31 this afternoon - would be great if I could get some feedback before pointing "Latest" to it!

Thanks,

I've added the availability of 2.6.38-x86_64-linode17 as well.

So far so good with our internal testing. If there no objections, Latest will point to these momentarily.

Why the rush to put this latest? Is there a bad kernel bug out there?

Interesting. I booted just fine on your very host - even with a couple extra disk images.

I've made a change - can you try once more?

Great! I guess CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ is broken then. Thanks!

I've tried to reboot yesterday on the 2.6.38 kernel and the drbd device didn't show up as if it hasn't been compiled while it was there in the two latest revisions.
I rolled back to last revision (2.6.35) and everything worked again,
didn't tried since.
Have you removed it in your latest config?
Regards
Vincent

This post is vague to the point of uselessness, but a couple days ago someone popped in IRC saying something or other might be missing from 2.6.38. It was never 100% confirmed, and I don't remember what it was now, though...

Probably related to this this post? http://forum.linode.com/viewtopic.php?t=6865&highlight=tun the 64 bit kernels don't have tun built in.
