Well, as the before release this would be the same think, just it has some updates and also the base its a newer version of kernel. The base is 2.6.30-rc8, with git6 patch, Acer fan module patch, coretemp patch for the new Intel Atom (of course this new build has full Acer Aspire One support). Also I have re-included the webcam modules, as in the previous release I totally forgot about them.

In general this build should work perfectly on Acer laptops, Acer Aspire One netbook, IBM/Lenovo Thinkpads and HP laptops. I didn’t tested the kernel on HP laptop, but it was tested already on Acer Aspire One and Lenovo T61. One issue which you may find in this kernel is that it might not work usplash on some Ubuntu releases. If you have some issue when using this kernel please drop me a comment, it is possible that some parts where left out even if in the tests everything worked fine.

Instructions:

First download the kernel image and headers:

wget http://dl.robertalks.com/kernel/2.6.30-flyleaf/linux-image-2.6.30-flyleaf_1_i386.deb
wget http://dl.robertalks.com/kernel/2.6.30-flyleaf/linux-headers-2.6.30-flyleaf_1_i386.deb

Now we need to install them:

sudo dpkg – i linux-image-2.6.30-flyleaf_1_i386.deb linux-headers-2.6.30-flyleaf_1_i386.deb

when asked what to do with this new kernel image please select “Install new kernel image“.

NOTE: This is intended for Debian/Ubuntu systems, as its a deb package.
