This is not a full release of the normal kernel packages or this not a new kernel version. Its the same 2.6.31.6 kernel, but with über-readahead (ureadahead) patch. Also is a preview because to be honest I’m not 100% sure that is gonna work fine.

I haven’t fully tested this kernel with the new patch, so I can’t really say how good or bad it is, but all of you, who use Ubuntu 9.10 should try to move to this kernel as yesterday the guys from Ubuntu added to the main repositories ureadahead, the replacement of sreadahead. So to be able to use it, you will need this kernel.

Please download it and install it and use it, so I can be 100% sure it works fine on other desktops/laptops/netbooks.

To download the package please go to: http://dl.robertalks.com/kernel/2.6.31.6-bullet/.

Update: In case ureadahead was installed, but never ran, you will need to create the pack file /var/lib/ureadahead/pack manually. For this you will need to run this command: sudo ureadahead -v (to see whats going on).
