commit e40152ee1e1c7a63f4777791863215e3faa37a86
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Date:   Sun May 16 14:17:36 2010 -0700

    Linus 2.6.34

Changelog -> http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_34

Kernel 2.6.34 is out and contains some great features for btrfs users. extofme has been busy on the mailing list and forums working on arch/btrfs integration and .34 will make a few things possible that are not currently possible with .33. [1]

While this is exciting it would be nice to not see a bunch of forum postings asking the devs when it will hit testing/core. Be patient, it will get there when it gets there. If you really can't wait have a look at compiling a kernel yourself. [2]

Does not look like it will take long until this reaches testing: http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/ … 89819.html

combuster · 2010-05-17 10:14:10

Well I've compiled it already and it works ok, it's not suprising though, I havent had any problems since rc1...

Linus said it all:

Nothing very interesting here, which is just how I like it. Various random
fixes all over, nothing really stands out. Pretty much all of it is one-
or few-liners,

In fact, it is in [testing] now!

Damm, that's service.

flamelab · 2010-05-17 13:13:10

It works flawlessly

Let me dream about RTL8187B Wi-Fi working again...

I was hoping that ath9k_htc will enter in this kernel release. But no...
Does anyone know how long will it take for ck patch to be released?

Themaister · 2010-05-17 15:52:18

I've been using the 2.6.34 rc kernels for a while, and it has worked really well so far Is BFS patch out for 2.6.34?

falconindy · 2010-05-17 16:25:17

http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/bfs/2.6.3 … -317.patch

-ck1 is probably not too far behind.

Themaister · 2010-05-17 16:37:01

Nice. 2.6.34-bfs up and running. Hope the shutdown bug is fixed. :x

MkFly · 2010-05-17 16:49:32

Installed 2.6.34 from testing, no problems here thus far.

Wintervenom · 2010-05-17 19:57:11

Zen 2.6.34 in development tree is working beautifully.
[Waits patiently for Zen Stable to catch up.]

ath9k_htc will be in 2.6.35.
You can use compat-wireless to get the latest wireless drivers.

Alas, it doesn't boot for me. I'll do some debugging later.

Yeah I know, im using it... but I wanted stable driver

Nimatek · 2010-05-19 00:24:05

Built it from source with BFS patch. No problems yet after (almost) two days.

1LordAnubis · 2010-05-19 16:26:59

from what I've heard the infamous broadcom b43 wifi driver *should* work automatically in this release, I don't have one though...

Great news

ck1 is out for 2.6.34

I'm assuming this does not include draft N devices right?

ammon · 2010-05-23 01:07:43

Have you guys tried this new kernel config option... http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/RCU_FAST_NO_HZ.html
Any benefits, like powersaving, lower cpu temp, etc...

demian · 2010-05-26 10:37:44

I've tried the option and it makes no difference in power consumption for me (Hardware: Thinkpad X200s).
However, I'm using the BFS-CPU-Scheduler, so I'm not sure if my kernel is making use of that option.

Hey, interesting!
I have a similar issue with a self compiled kernel.

I actually 'fixed' my problem by removing "quiet" from the kernel command line - with "quiet" it doesn't boot, without it it boots just fine. Unless a new USB device is plugged in shortly after loading the initramfs, then it dies horribly. Oh well.
