I created linux-image-2.6.34-openmoko-gta02_20101212.git049b71de-2
overnight and it seems to be now free of the udev CPU consuming
problem I saw before upgrading to it. It's also now compiled with
sid's gcc 4.6, possibly improving ARM optimizations.

It's now uploaded to pkg-fso, but is currently stuck in incoming
because alioth doesn't have the reprepro command previously used to
update the repository. Ideas?

Anyway, one can manually download and install it from
http://pkg-fso.alioth.debian.org/incoming/

Also as a general reminder to the community at large, the 2.6.34
kernel, especially this new one, is a better choice for most Debian
users than the 2.6.37 which has "slight" booting problems at the
moment :)
