Not so long ago the kernel development team release kernel 2.6.31.5 and now 2.6.31.6, well actually yesterday, but who’s counting. Normally I wouldn’t build and release any packages from this kernel tree due to a lot of regression and not as much speed and stability. But since version 2.6.31.5, seems that a lot of parts of the kernel where fixed and works much more smoother then before. Also, I successfully patch this version with sreadahead, which gave me quite a big headache, well more or less a day it took me to create the patch and configure the kernel so it would really work with sreadahead. To find what actually has changed in this kernel version, I would recommend all of you to read the change log from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.31.6.
