linux: 2.6.38-11.50 -proposed tracker

All builds are complete, packages in this bug can be copied to -proposed.

Derivative packages from packages here can be worked on, the following tracking bugs were opened for them:
linux-ti-omap4 - bug 848587

Backport packages from packages here can be worked on, the following tracking bugs were opened for them:
linux-lts-backport-natty (lucid) - bug 848588

This natty release had 3 unverified/failed fixes reverted (for bugs 509180, 795717, 728835). Everything else is ok or verified, Setting Verification-testing to fix released.

Looks good, thanks!

Sorry for the false alarm. We had a regression show up, but it's already in updates, so we'll just fix it in the next release and not hold this one. I blocked the tracking bug to make sure it didn't get released while I investigated.

No regressions observed.

For some reason I forgot to set this to In Progress when we started testing last week. We're now finished so I'll be setting this to Fix Released straight away.

Hardware Certification has completed testing on 94 out of 99 systems. 5 others were subject to hardware problem not due to the SRU. Report available here:
