Kernel 2.6.33.1-beetlejuice released for Debian/Ubuntu (Beetlejuice)

Mar 17th

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 you the main things. For example there is unionfs support, squashfs support, ureadahead support, BFS default scheduler (Brain Fuck Scheduler) and of course a ton of fixes from kernel devel team. Here is a sample of the ChangeLog.

Brain Fuck Scheduler and Kernel 2.6.33 (2.6.33-final-bfs)

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 it already for the past couple of days and I’ve found this scheduler to be really good, I also decided to make a new kernel release which includes this scheduler, so the kernel wont use the classic scheduler, but the new BFS one.

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 seems to bring tons of improvements top to bottom, so it should present a good speed and stability especially with the ext4 module and i915 and drm modules. In my tests, it does seems to be quite fast, the kernel itself, but also the Intel i915 module too. The only thing it remains is for you guys to download it and test it.
