Hi Greg;  I just pulled this about an hour ago, built it from a make 
oldconfig based on a flawlessly running 2.6.35.4.

3 things I call regressions.

1. On rebooting to it, and launching kmail, cpu went to 100% of whatever 
core it skipped to on a 4 core amd phenom box with 4G of ram.  Normally, 
kmail on a restart will check and rebuild its indices, taking maybe 4 or 5 
minutes to do this up till now, during that time keyboard/mouse 
interactivity lags a split second.  This time it was 44 minutes before I 
got my machine back.  At times the keyboard went dead for minutes at a 
time.  I even went to the kitchen and got fresh batteries for it, only to 
have everything I had typed blind 2 minutes before, show up on screen while 
there was no batteries in it.

2. That I think is separate from the login screen, there I had no keyboard 
or mouse for a minute, but something finally registered and I was able to 
log in then.

3. My usb tree is not fully populated, this has been a frequent problem for 
the last year or so, udev often does not wait for responses long enough to 
trace a several hubs tall tree to the last branch so I have to crawl under 
and unplug the missing stuff later, which is then properly recognized when I 
plug it back into the same socket on the same hub.  One of my often missing 
printers is 4 hubs away in the basement.

Thanks.
