[Adrian Bunk]

This email lists some known regressions in 2.6.16-rc4 compared to 2.6.15.

If you find your name in the Cc header, you are either submitter of one 
of the bugs, maintainer of an affectected subsystem or driver, a patch 
of you was declared guilty for a breakage or I'm considering you in any 
other way possibly involved with one or more of these issues.

                     At worst we will have to disable resync by default
                     before 2.6.16 final is out and continue in 2.6.17 cycle.

This is not ppc only. I have the exact same problem on Gentoo
Linux/x86. No ipod events on 2.6.16-rc1, whereas 2.6.15 works fine.
Haven't had the time to investigate further yet, sorry.

The real problem is there are some bugs hidden by ec_intr=3D0.
ec_intr=3D1 just get these bug  just exposed, and we need to fix them.=20
