No ppc, ppc64, s390? Current bad issues for x86-64: - IDE Taskfile IO when enabled corrupts file systems on AMD8111 (on others too?). This is the worst because there is no fix available. I would propose to completely disable taskfile in Kconfig until the issue is resolved. - Reiserfs zeroes every second 4K block in any write >4K on 64bit systems (patch is in -mm*). Hopefully the patch can be merged before 2.6-pre. and - doesn't compile (trivial fixes are already sent) -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
