Today's first 2.6.30-rc8 build for VIA NetBooks is posted. Details at: http://forum.netbookuser.com/viewtopic.php?pid=7034#p7034
- - summary - -
This is the kernel.org repository tag: 2.6.30-rc8 codebase ***without*** local patches; Using the same configuration as the record holding (-09149), variable speed kernel.
The -09149 announcement is at: http://forum.netbookuser.com/viewtopic.php?pid=7002#p7002 (Note: that build had local patches.)
I have also re-posted the record holding (-09143lk), fixed speed build, see above links.
