It seems the 2.6.29 kernel has a network issue, which will be fixed in .29.1

At the moment keep an downgrade kernel in your cache if you will be affected
by this bug.

I thought we said that we only add smack if we can compile it =m (which
we couldn't).

Are we still adding these weird aufs patches? IMO, the aufs/unionfs
situation should be solved more cleanly. They both require us to patch
the kernel and both are not too clean. There is an ongoing effort to
push aufs2 to mainline, so maybe it is better to use aufs2 instead of aufs?

The new kernel runs perfectly on my system. I'm not affected by the
network issue mentioned above. It looks like that NICs with a forcedeth
chipset are affected. I have a Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5789
Gigabit Ethernet card and it works like before.
Cheers,
Daniel

Apart from the FPS in games going from ~50 to ~10, I have no issues
(with an Intel 945GM). Going to try KMS but I haven't had much success
with that during the RC stage...

By the way do we still need aufs?

Enabling KMS makes performance a bit better, though according to Thomas,
it comes with bad colors. To enable KMS, you'll need this in
modprobe.conf:
option i915 modeset=1
Remember that KMS requires an up2date intel driver with UXA enabled to
work. KMS enabled will not work with non-KMS drivers.
I'll update xf86-video-intel, mesa and everything that's related to this
to the latest branch snapshots. This should improve some things, though
I have no hard results for it yet.

I have the same chipset, and with 2.6.29-rc8, compositing in KDE was
unusable (with 2.6.28, intel 2.6.3 and UXA enabled it was fine).
About the colors: I found a message on a mailing list about it and a
patch that was supposed to fix it, but it didn't help at all. Also, KMS
would freeze the display (or the whole kernel, who knows) when exiting X
sometimes and it would cause kernel oopses. KMS is only cool on the
surface (the native resolution framebuffer, non-flickering X start and
instant console switch are nice), but the whole implementation is immature.

Again about aufs: I have no idea if this is supposed to be built
in-kernel, but the patches to the VFS seem to be minimal and I guess we
can build it as a module. If we are going to use aufs, we should use
aufs2. It is even supposed to be better than unionfs!

Yeah, we do - lots of external projects use it (larch, Chakra, etc),
and I do want to move the ISOs from unionfs to aufs eventually

I want to underline this. I have serious problems on two different computers.
* the intel xorg driver just produces garbage
(tested UXA and EXA; vesa works fine)
* forcedeth stops working after a few minutes
* ipw2200 does not work (it does not find any networks)
* on every boot it complains about broken superblock features and wants to run
a fs check (ext4; different hds; totally random) -> make backups ;-)
* s626 has to be blacklisted; otherwise udev will take a long time and a
modporbe process keeps hanging and cannot be killed
* there might be a problem with the nvidia graphics driver
So you better shouldn't use it unless you don't need network access or you
have backups of all your data. :-)
