All builds are complete, packages in this bug can be copied to -proposed.

Derivative packages from packages here can be worked on, the following tracking bugs were opened for them:
linux-ti-omap4 - bug 1199597
linux-armadaxp - bug 1199598
linux-lowlatency - bug 1199599

[Adam Conrad (adconrad)]

Copied to -proposed and overrides adjusted.

[John Johansen (jjohansen)]

Looks good

[Para Siva (psivaa)]

No regressions seen

[Brendan Donegan (brendan-donegan)]

Hardware Certification have begun testing this -proposed kernel.

[Brendan Donegan (brendan-donegan)]

The Hardware Certification team has encountered the following regression during testing: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1204548

Currently one system is confirmed to be affected, but it appears the issue is actually widespread and the report will be updated as more hardware is confirmed to be affected and/or the common BT hardware module is identified.

[Brendan Donegan (brendan-donegan)]

The bug mentioned above seems to be a genuine regression so I'm marking this as failed. The test report from this run is here: http://people.canonical.com/~hwcert/sru-testing/precise/3.2.0-50.76/precise-proposed.html
