    So they aren't going to fix the power regression before releasing .39 ? :-|

    I noticed this using powertop on one of my laptops when upgrading to F14 from F12.

    It has a noticeable impact on my battery life.

      It would be nice if they did something about it. I wonder why we have not heard about any LKML discussions about it.

        Damn you're slow Michael. I had rc7 built an hour before you posted the story. :-)
        Code:
        eherr@quark:~/packages/src/kernel/linux-2.6.39-rc7$ ls -lh vmlinux.o 
        -rw-r--r-- 1 eherr eherr 13M May  9 22:08 vmlinux.o

          How do we know you didn't just change the rc6 to rc7?? Please give me SSH access to your box so I can verify this.

            Sure! SSH access is here. Use your normal username and password. 127.0.0.1
