Kernel 2.6.31.5-firebird released for Debian/Ubuntu (Firebird)
As I wrote in my previous post, today I am launching the new kernel package for Debian/Ubuntu 2.6.31.5-firebird based on kernel version 2.6.31.5. This new package contains the latest kernel, acerhdf module for Acer Aspire One (version 0.5.19) and coretemp patched for Intel Atom processors. If you wanna read more about what this new kernel packs, please check out http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.31.5.
Usually, I do not release any kernel package based on kernel version 2.6.31.[0-9] as I had some bad experience with it, plus it didn’t function as I would wished, but after some tests with this new kernel version I end-up with the conclusion it needs to be released.
Because the installation of this packages is the same as any Debian/Ubuntu package, I wont explain it, but I can tell you all what you need to download and from where you can download this packages. First of all, you will need at least the linux-image-2.6.31.5-firebird_1_i386.deb package to be able to use this kernel and you can download it from http://dl.robertalks.com/kernel/2.6.31.5-firebird/ and if you are thinking of building you own kernel, maybe for a different Linux distribution or just because you want to, you can download the source code and kernel config file from http://dl.robertalks.com/kernel/source/.
To end this post, I will ask you again, like every time to test, check, play and use this packages and drop me a note for any issues or even just that it works.
Cheers you all!

Kernel 2.6.35.4-bubbleboy released for Debian/Ubuntu (Bubbleboy)
about 1 week ago - No comments
It’s been a while since the release of kernel 2.6.35 and there are several version out. I haven’t build and release them, because all of them had several serious bugs and where fixed within days from their release. Version 2.6.35.4 seems more stable and more clean-up and I’ve decided it’s a good release to make
Kernel 2.6.35-final already here! WoW :)

I don’t usually get very surprised when a new kernel is released, but this time… I’m. Kernel 2.6.34.1 was release just a couple of good weeks ago and then kernel 2.6.35. I don’t get the idea why did they just jumped directly to kernel 2.6.35, but I will consider that they know what they are doing

I haven’t been writing on my blog for quite a while and I guess now I should, well actually The Kernel Development just released kernel 2.6.34.1, so I have a good reason for adding a new post .
This kernel really stayed in the cooker for some time, as version 2.6.34 was release two months ago. I
Kernel 2.6.34-final is here!

After a couple of days of waiting for BFS scheduler patch and rebuilding the patch for ureadahead, kernel 2.6.34-final is here. I know, again, it’s with a certain delay, but some parts are not in my control and it’s not much that I can do about it.
As usual, the same stuff are included in this
Kernel 2.6.33.3-soultrain released for Debian/Ubuntu (Soultrain)

Well first of all, sorry for this late release, but had some stuff to handle which at that point in time where more important. Kernel 2.6.33.3 was released last week and it comes like always with a bunch of bug fixes, improvements and new stuff added. I’m not gonna go into them, because there are
Kernel 2.6.33.2-coolcat released for Debian/Ubuntu (Coolcat)
about 5 months ago - 12 comments
A couple of days ago Kernel 2.6.33.2 was released. Due to the Easter holidays, I didn’t have the time to build this kernel, but yesterday evening somehow I get around it and now the packages are ready for use.
There are no major stuff added in this kernel from my side, besides the removal of PAE
Kernel 2.6.33.1-beetlejuice released for Debian/Ubuntu (Beetlejuice)

Another day, another kernel, another kernel package. To be damn honest, I can’t keep up with the kernel development team. They are releasing kernels like on a production line. It’s almost impossible for a single person to keep the the releases on time, but I’m trying
Anyway, I will keep this short and tell
Brain Fuck Scheduler and Kernel 2.6.33 (2.6.33-final-bfs)
about 6 months ago - 5 comments
A couple of days ago, I discovered, thanks to PCLinuxOS, a new kernel scheduler, Brain Fuck Scheduler or BFS. The name of this kernel scheduler is not very attractive, but what this scheduler does, is. It seems that this scheduler is more simple and fast, especially when it comes to low spec computers.
Because I’ve tried
Kernel 2.6.33-final is here!
about 6 months ago - No comments
A couple of days ago kernel 2.6.33 was released. Due to some personal issues which I had to deal with, I couldn’t actually release the packages sooner than now.
Because I don’t wanna carry too much about this and that and plus I don’t really have much time, I will just say that this final release
Kernel 2.6.32.8-pharox released for Debian/Ubuntu (Pharox)
about 7 months ago - 4 comments
Today seems a good day to release a new kernel package. It’s Friday, it’s almost weekend and why not have some fun with a new kernel release. The kernel was release a couple of days ago, but to be honest, I couldn’t build it due to not having a machine working on some older Ubuntu.

Thanks very much for providing the kernel. But compiling modules with having just the headers package installed seems to be impossible:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.31.5-firebird/arch/x86/Makefile_32.cpu’. Stop.
My guess is this is due to the headers package being created by an outdated version of ‘kernel-package’. Later versions of this package contain instructions to include those files. Fixing this issue would be great.

Hi, for that, you need to download also linux-source deb package, install it and then unpack it, link it to /lib/modules/2.6.31.5-firebird/build and source, then make oldconfig and make prepare, if it doesnt work then maybe make modules too.
Good luck!
P.S. after installing the linux-source deb package, you should change path to /usr/src and you will find there the archive tar.bz2

Sure, but it’s inconvenient. Compare the file debian/ruleset/targets/headers.mk with the version which is provided with the Ubuntu package “kernel-package”. The latter contains rules for Makefile_32.cpu. Thanks anyway.

Yeah I know, but to be honest, I’m not sure how debian/ubuntu are doing it. So until I will find out, this is the only way to work with it.
