Meeting Agenda]]


=== ARM Status  ===
  R/master: work continues on the arm multiplatform kernel - right now i'm
  tracking down a "BUG: scheduling while atomic" (actually an alignment 
problem -
  how conform
  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1613275/) that only happens on omap4, seems to 
be ipv6
  related and seems to be triggered by our articulated kernel configuration.
