A couple of days ago Kernel 2.6.33.2 was released. Due to the Easter holidays, I didn’t have the time to build this kernel, but yesterday evening somehow I get around it and now the packages are ready for use.

There are no major stuff added in this kernel from my side, besides the removal of PAE support which seems it created some problems for some people. This means that this new release will only support 4GB of memory and of course no PAE. I hope it’s not a problem, but I can’t go two ways, or PAE or no PAE and there is also the other option to build two kernels, but I don’t really think it would be a good idea. Not now anyways.

From the kernel development team there are some bug fixes and improvement, and here they are, but if you want more details check the ChangeLog:
