Kernel bug reports welcome here?

Kernel bug reports welcome here?

[Wolfgang Pfeiffer]

Hi All

I'm running a git kernel with sources from about last Sunday, on a
alubook5.8, and I would like to know whether bug reports, if things
don't work with this kernel (there are a few ... :), will be welcome
here.

If not: Where's the better place for reports like that: Linux kernel
mailing list?

Just in case if this might help:

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo

They are welcome here, but keep in mind that some of them could be
better suited for LKML. It depends on what the problem is. If it seems
to be machine/PPC-specific, post here. If it's generic kernel (MM, other
things), post on LKML. If unsure, you could also crosspost on both lists,
but try to keep that to a minimum.

There's also the debian-ppc mailing list, for things not directly related
to the kernel but to the rest of the distro you run (some kernel problems
are also discussed there, but I'm not sure if they're interested in
mainline kernel bugs there or not).
