Hi guys,

it is probably time to discuss a possible kernel update for hoary.

Right now I have been informed by upstream that one of the SATA patches
that are inside our tree is extremely dangerous and it can cause data corruption.
There is no update to that patch so it must to be reverted.
the impact of this fix is pretty high unfortunatly. It seems to introduce an ABI change
and it will kill 2 modules from our tree. The 2 modules are not used by d-i so that
makes things a bit better.

A few minutes ago we found a bug on how our initrd is builded and due to this bug
the capability module is not added to the initrd as it should. The module is still
loaded at a later stage but this is not optimal.

My suggestion is to get 34.1 out with the 4 security fixes that we have been working
on (so we don't delay warty) and prepare a 35 to go in -updates together with linux-meta
and the whole dance of the abi change.

Any comments?
Fabio
