That's a weird question, since MeeGo kernel is plain vanilla + very few patches and that works on top of 2.6.33. I've personally done some work to get the gpsdriver working decently on top of it. And I think Termana tested the kernels under Diablo and UI kept on working..

From that side on, I think it's been about telling what components are failing under later kernels so we could look into fixes. Biggest so far has been gpsdriver which used the serial access in a weird way.

770, don't know :/
