This new Debian/Ubuntu kernel package based on kernel version 2.6.30.1 and it comes with all the major bug fixed and improvements plus there is the latest version of acerhdf module (0.5.14) and it includes also the coretemp fix for Intel Atom CPU’s.

The name of this new release, Shinedown, comes from one of my favorite rock bands, but has no special meaning to it, so you can ignore it if you want to. :) Also to be able to know whats new in this release, you should check out http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.30.1.

Thanks to one of the guys who posted on my previous post, I got the info that seems there is a problem with the SD cards on Acer Aspire One and maybe even other system in case of a suspend/standby. It seems that in the new kernel MMC drivers are set to modules and also MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME it’s disabled, which also seems to kind of destroy the file system on SD cards after resume from suspend/standby. The fix can be found at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pm-utils/+bug/342096 and requires to modify the kernel configuration from:

CONFIG_MMC=y
CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK=m
CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI=m
CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_PCI=m
# CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME is not set

Yep! You got it, this is the latest build for Ubuntu/Debian and its based on 2.6.30 stable from kernel.org. This new build includes all the good stuff from the older one, which means acerhdf module patch, coretemp patch for Intel Atom, also this should have a more proper and stable Intel i915 drivers, mode settings support and framebuffer support.

Well, as the before release this would be the same think, just it has some updates and also the base its a newer version of kernel. The base is 2.6.30-rc8, with git6 patch, Acer fan module patch, coretemp patch for the new Intel Atom (of course this new build has full Acer Aspire One support). Also I have re-included the webcam modules, as in the previous release I totally forgot about them.
