Well, if your target is Debian and Ubunto for starts, then you're discussing this in the wrong mailing list. BTW, on Debian/unstable:
root@Atlantis:/usr/src/linux# apt-cache search kernel-image | grep 2.6.8 kernel-image-2.6.8-1-386 - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.8 on 386. kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686 - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.8 on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/PIV. kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686-smp - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.8 on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/PIV SMP. kernel-image-2.6.8-1-k7 - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.8 on AMD K7. kernel-image-2.6.8-1-k7-smp - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.8 on AMD K7 SMP. kernel-image-2.6.8-9-amd64-generic - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.8 on generic x86_64 systems kernel-image-2.6.8-9-amd64-k8 - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.8 on AMD64 systems kernel-image-2.6.8-9-amd64-k8-smp - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.8 on AMD64 SMP systems kernel-image-2.6.8-9-em64t-p4 - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.8 on Intel EM64T systems kernel-image-2.6.8-9-em64t-p4-smp - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.8 on Intel EM64T SMP systems kernel-tree-2.6.8 - Linux kernel tree for building prepackaged Debian kernel images root@Atlantis:/usr/src/linux#
If you think the blockage is going to happen in 2.6.7, think twice.
