Kernel bug reports welcome here?
Hi All
I'm running a git kernel with sources from about last Sunday, on a alubook5.8, and I would like to know whether bug reports, if things don't work with this kernel (there are a few ... :), will be welcome here.
If not: Where's the better place for reports like that: Linux kernel mailing list?
Just in case if this might help:

They are welcome here.

They are welcome here, but keep in mind that some of them could be better suited for LKML. It depends on what the problem is. If it seems to be machine/PPC-specific, post here. If it's generic kernel (MM, other things), post on LKML. If unsure, you could also crosspost on both lists, but try to keep that to a minimum.
There's also the debian-ppc mailing list, for things not directly related to the kernel but to the rest of the distro you run (some kernel problems are also discussed there, but I'm not sure if they're interested in mainline kernel bugs there or not).
