As already reported multiple times, including at -rc1 time...
still need this libata-sff.c patch:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=116343564202844&q=raw
to have my root device detected, ata_piix probe would otherwise
fail as described in this thread:

I've got a patch that should work for those cases. Alan's patch
contained some bugs.

Hi!

...platform is right thing to do, but it is also "more aggresive" than
"shutdown" -- it needs bigger chunk of ACPI BIOS to work properly.
So, it would be nice to test 2.6.20-rc2 on your favourite system (if
it breaks, try if echo "shutdown" > /sys/power/disk fixes it), and
report results. Thanks,
Pavel

PCI_MULTITHREAD_PROBE is now only able to be enabled if you also enable
CONFIG_BROKEN, so this can be removed from your list.

In Linus' tree, it currently only depends on EXPERIMENTAL.
It seems commit 009af1ff78bfc30b9a27807dd0207fc32848218a wasn't intended

I think we should just remove it.
It's broken.
Nobody cares.
If people want to do concurrent stuff at bootup, it should be the _other_
buses (like USB, IDE or SCSI or anything like that, that actually has
operations that can delay) that end up asynchronous. And I think we could
have some generic functionality for the drivers themselves to do their
probing in parallel. But I think the PCI one was just a mistake.

I agree, that's why I thought I had added a patch in the last PCI queue
to you to just disable the config option and was going to rip out the
code entirely for the next release. I'll make sure to add the config
option patch to the next round of PCI patches to you.

Add that on SPARC64 boot fails due to missing /dev/root. Vanilla 2.6.19 and
2.6.19.1 work fine, before 2.6.20-rc1 it broke. I checked the initrds for
both versions, the only difference "diff -Nur" finds between the unpacked
initrds are the modules themselves (obviously).

Did you report this will all relevant details on sparclinux@vger
so that the sparc64 maintainers can analyze the problem?
I didn't see the report there else I would be looking into it.
Please don't report sparc64 bugs here, thanks.

I did copy the email to both sparclinux and you when I asked Horst
whether it's still present in the latest kernel, and therefore his
answer that it does the day before yesterday should have reached you.
The thread is "Re: 2.6.19 (current from git) on SPARC64: Can't mount /".
Is there anything I can improve to catch your intention?
Is "reply with fullquote + question + adding Cc's" somehow suboptimal?

Sorry, I knew about this and somehow forgot to add it to my list.

I believe this is the same bug as I've seen reported about gdb. I'd have
to find the thread/information regarding it. Not sure if it was fixed
already.

2.6.19-1.2891.fc7 is based on 2.6.20-rc1-git5, and it's therefore
expected that it contains this bug.

There's also http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/21/47; the included patch break
my nVidia devices and probably all PCIX devices, so it's not right, but
something has to be done to fix ATI. My guess is a quirk to say that
pci_intx doesn't work on certain devices and should just be skipped, but
I'm not sure if it's just in combination with MSI or not.

This:
- does not seem to be a regression and
- missing MSI support is not such a big problem.
Considering how many problems patches in this area tend to cause on
different hardware, I'm even inclined to say that such patches should
only be added during the 2 weeks merge window before -rc1.

(I was only talking about the first issue/patch as being a regression,
obviously, and forgot that there was more to the email I cited.)
Ah, okay. I somehow missed that all of the devices that were reported
to break with the MSI change in mainline doesn't support MSI in mainline.
Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if this issue applied to audio on ATI
SB450 and later, which (I think) use the hda_intel driver, which supports
MSI (although I guess it's still defaulting to disabled). If this is true,
it would be a regression since 2.6.19.
The addition of a quirk to not use pci_intx with MSI on ATI PCI devices
should be safe (until 2.6.20-rc1, this was the usual kernel behavior), but
is clearly not critical if mainline doesn't use MSI with any such devices
anyway.

Just tried with 2.6.18.6 and aRts still have no sound, there must be something
