I'd like to point out bug 314119 from Steave Beattie about a regression he's noticed in the 2.6.27-11.22 kernel in -proposed - "2.6.27-11.22, causes the brightness settings on my lenovo t61 laptop to no longer work. Altering the LCD brightness settings while running the kernel in intrepid-updates, 2.6.27-10.20, does work."

I've asked Steve if he could help narrow down if it was the 2.6.27.8/2.6.27.9 stable updates or the 2.6.27.10 stable updates, bug 309731, which introduced this regression. I just wanted to make a note here just in case. Thanks.

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

Bug 314119 has now been marked a dup of bug 311716. Steve has confirmed the fix for bug 311716 has resolved the issue he reported for bug 314119.

I wanted to point out bug 318565 "cifs+IPv6 regression 2.6.27-9 -> 2.6.27-11" . It seems both 2.6.27.8 and 2.6.27.9 pulled in a few cifs related patches.

[Steve Beattie (sbeattie)]

Stable updates for 2.6.27 should have already made it into Jaunty's 2.6.28 kernel, closing the devel task.
