[Development] Kernel 3.3

[Development] Kernel 3.3

Hey,

I have been working on the update to Linux 3.3 in the last weeks.
Unfortunately, I am running out if time in most things I do. So my
request is, that some of you test the kernel that I already compiled.

Scratch build:
  https://pakfire.ipfire.org/build/a740cfc3-1996-442b-87d7-a3432a6561f7

I don't expect anything weird, but I have not been able to test if it
boots up at all.

Make sure you check that the initrd has been generated after the
installation, reboot and then run a couple of things. That's all.

The reason for this kind of hurry is, that the release of Linux 3.4 is
imminent (probably this week) and I don't like to get stuck on a too old
kernel.

Hello Michael,

I've downloaded your kernel and tested it on my x86_64 Virtual Machine.

The kernel boots smooth, also the bootsplash appears.
All services started up probably also network will came up and I was 
able to connect to the machine via SSH.

[root(a)ipfire ~]# uname -r
3.3.6-1.ip3.x86_64

Thanks for testing.

I managed to install the kernel on my hardware as well. It runs
perfectly.

I will put all the changes together and commit them as soon as possible.
Stay tuned for that.
