I've already rebased the latest suse patches for 2.6.30 and will be
releasing the patches once I've tested the kernels, like 2.6.29 the
changes required to apply the patches to vanilla were quite small so
hopefully it will prove to be as stable as 2.6.29 which was very good,
unfortunately I've been in hospital for emergency surgery a couple of
weeks ago and I will be going back in soon for some more surgery so
I've not been very active recently and will not be for another month
to 6 weeks.
