looks good

No regressions observed.

The Hardware Certification team have begun testing this -proposed kernel.

We have a potential issues with a couple of servers that we're investigating. Will update the bug as soon as we get a better idea of what's going on.

The information we have at the moment is:

• As far as we can tell the servers halt only when the -proposed kernel is installed. We haven't seen it happen with the release kernel for 10.04.3 yet.
• We once saw the message 'Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 21 on CPU 0.' which may indicate a RAM issue. We will run the memcheck tool and update here with the results.
• Many other servers submit results ok (53 so far)

See : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/897773

Contrary to the previous statement, we have established that the systems are halting with the release kernel (2.6.32-33) installed as well. This being the case and given that all the other results look okay, we're declaring this certification-testing-passed. Continue to see the bug above for further details on this problem.
