ng-1.5.2: "long-term stable" kernel version

ng-1.5.2: "long-term stable" kernel version

[Zvi Vered]

Hello,

I built a toolchain for i686 using 2.6.31.1
Then I noticed the words "long-term stable" near 2.6.27.35
What does it mean ?
Did someone made QA tests for this version ?

I had problems with 2.6.29 and 2.6.31.1.
I'm sure the cause to the problems is not the toolchain but the kernel code.

Thanks.

Dear Mr. Morin,

I tried the following kernel versions on RTD's PC104 Core2Duo:

2.6.29: I had a problem with remap_pfn_range. I used it to map phisical 
memory to a user space virtual memory. This problem is mentined in osdir and 
in the kernel's BugZilla.

2.6.31.1: After the extraction of the bzImage, the screen is black for a 
second and then boot continues. But sometimes, boot does not continue and PC 
starts from BIOS (as in cold reset). This problem is not deterministic.

As I said, I'm sure the cause is not the toolchain but linux code.

Thanks.
