Kernel 2.6.34-final is here!
4After 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 release like I always do, but now, in this release, I have also added support for a ton of new modules, removed unionfs (sorry, but it’s not much in use) and probably in the future releases I will include also aufs support. Because the list of bug fixes in this kernel is really really long, I wont includ it, like I did in my previouse release, but I can tell you that there was an extensive amount of work done for Intel video drivers, Radeon video drivers and Nouveau video drivers (but only experimental, so good luck with them). There are also a lot of other fixes and add-ons, but like I said, I wont mention them, as they are too many.
Kernel 2.6.33.3-soultrain released for Debian/Ubuntu (Soultrain)
8Well 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 too many, but just form the top of my head I will mention one small fix, which I noticed myself, and that is the thinkpad_acpi modules which didn’t work properly in the older released. By this I mean that enabling/disabling WLAN and Bluetooth didn’t work. You will have them on, but coudn’t switch them off using FN key plus F5 key. This part seems that it was fixed and now in kernel 2.6.33.3 it works like it should. In rest, I can’t tell you much, besides the fact that it works, I didn’t notice any downgrade in performance or anything similar.
