I just installed alpha 3 (since my alpha 2 died when my computer crashed 
in the middle of a apt-get upgrade), and there are still a few problems.

- with 2.6.31-3-generic, hibernate still works, and suspend still 
doesn't work. Still haven't found any clue as to why.
- "sudo update-grub2" is needed after installation to find the Vista 
partition and add it to GRUB. This is a known bug.

- Intel Wireless doesn't work out of the box anymore. The problem seems 
to be related to RFKILL framework change in 2.6.31 
(http://www.h-online.com/open/Kernel-Log-Coming-in-2-6-31-Part-1-New-Wi-Fi-drivers-and-other-network-related-changes--/news/113670). 
The RFKILL status seems to default to on (wireless disabled) on boot 
every time (btw, for those that don't know already, to toggle wireless, 
touch the wireless indication light). I have tried using the RFKILL 
utility found here - 
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/rfkill, to no avail. 
The wifi device is "hard blocked". It seems like at least HP and Asus 
people are having problems with their laptops, too, but I didn't 
investigate into that further. The problem COULD be related to the 
acer_wmi module.

I didn't and still don't need any special kernel parameter since I have 
the SSD version, so I can't say if that's "fixed".

Everything else seems to work just like in alpha 2.
