2.6.24-rc3-git6: Reported regressions from 2.6.23

From: Rafael J. Wysocki
Date: Sat Dec 01 2007 - 16:54:46 EST


This message contains a list of some regressions from 2.6.23 which have been
reported since 2.6.24-rc1 was released and for which there are no fixes in the
mainline that I know of.  If any of them have been fixed already, please let me
know.

If you know of any other unresolved regressions from 2.6.23, please let me know
either and I'll add them to the list.
