We ran the QA Regression Test suite for the Hardy proposed kernel and did not encounter any regressions, the full results of the tests can be found at : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/KernelSRU-hardy-2.6.24-29.88 . New LUB, LBM and LRM installed correctly too. Marking this task as verification-done, Thanks all.

We got a new l-b-m yesterday (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/linux-backports-modules-2.6.24/2.6.24-29.41), can this please get a quick signoff?
