New kernel released, new kernel package released,new acerhdf module version and of course new name, based again on a rock band which I like. This kind of sums up the whole new kernel package 2.6.30.5-seether. Besides the obvious facts which are the usual changes, bug fixes and features added to this new kernel there is also the new acerhdf (Acer Aspire One) module, version 0.5.17, same coretemp which support Intel Atom CPU’s, pciehp compiled as a module and of course a better performance and stability (I hope).

I’ve been already testing this kernel, but like usual not on an Acer Aspire One or some Intel Atom based notebook/netbook, but on my Lenovo T61 and got to say seems to work quite well. I don’t see at this moment any issues with this release, but if there is something which is missing or problematic, I would love to get some feedback on it. So drop me some comments if you see something not working well.

The installation of this new kernel is the same like any other release, I wont go into details, but I will say that you will need at least linux-image-2.6.30.5-seether_1_i386.deb package to download and install. To download the release packages please go to http://dl.robertalks.com/kernel/2.6.30.5-seether/.

For developers or those who wanna rebuild the kernel for themselves please go to http://dl.robertalks.com/kernel/source/ and download from there the source code plus the config file for the kernel and then just build it.
