Various tasks are in a hold pattern until this decision is made (ensuring
that d-i uses the proper kernel, removal of other kernel packages from

like to uncover any problems with this proposal quickly.
Because this gives us a shot at having all architectures on the same version for sarge (where 2.4.26 does not due to arm), I agree that this is the way to go.
I should be able to get linux-kernel-di-alpha done and uploaded by Monday.
Sven, how far out are the 2.4.27 powerpc debs? If these aren't receiving enough attention because 2.6 is such a priority, I think we need to seriously consider dropping the 2.4 kernels completely for powerpc instead of giving them half-hearted support that will delay the release.
All here who have 2.4 and 2.6 kernels on ppc should try disk speed tests with hdparm: I found my new Athlon (well the mobo's new, CPU's not) is 30% faster with the 2.4 kernel.
If something like this is true of ppc too, you wouldn't want to drop 2.4 kernels.
