Quoting flux <flux AT sourcemage.org>:
I'm currently testing out 2.6.32.4 on one of my systems, and it seems
stable thus far (though I ran into an issue with having security labels
enabled for the reiser filesystem).
I'd like to get a consensus of just how stable this kernel is and
evaluate it for the potential of being the new kernel on the ISO. I am
therefore calling on all developers who have experience with the 2.6.32
series (and in particular with the .4 version) to tell me the following:
* which kernels you have run (in the 2.6.32 series, yes tell me all the
numbers you have experience with)
2.6.32 through 2.6.32.4
* how stable each of the kernels has been for you
I haven't noticed any issues from the kernel. I believe 2.6.32-2.6.32.2 had a bug for iwlwifi/iwlagn if sleep was enabled. I can't seem to find the option in the 2.6.32.4 kernel, so perhaps it was removed.
* what hardware you have run the kernels on

* what filesystems, security options, etc. you use with it (or have
enabled in the kernel)
ReiserFS
EXT3
EXT4
LVM (non-root)
Disk size ranges from 80G to 4T. I do not use SELinux, security labels, or anything silly like that. ;)
* how long you have run/been running each of the kernels
The day they come out. :)
* if you experienced problems/bugs, what were they? How serious? Are
there (relatively) easy workarounds you know of?
No issues from the kernel.
