Kernel 2.6.31.6-dragonfly released for Debian/Ubuntu (Dragonfly)
Nov 11th
Not so long ago the kernel development team release kernel 2.6.31.5 and now 2.6.31.6, well actually yesterday, but who’s counting. Normally I wouldn’t build and release any packages from this kernel tree due to a lot of regression and not as much speed and stability. But since version 2.6.31.5, seems that a lot of parts of the kernel where fixed and works much more smoother then before. Also, I successfully patch this version with sreadahead, which gave me quite a big headache, well more or less a day it took me to create the patch and configure the kernel so it would really work with sreadahead. To find what actually has changed in this kernel version, I would recommend all of you to read the change log from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.31.6.

Kernel 2.6.31.5-firebird released for Debian/Ubuntu (Firebird)
Oct 28th
As I wrote in my previous post, today I am launching the new kernel package for Debian/Ubuntu 2.6.31.5-firebird based on kernel version 2.6.31.5. This new package contains the latest kernel, acerhdf module for Acer Aspire One (version 0.5.19) and coretemp patched for Intel Atom processors. If you wanna read more about what this new kernel packs, please check out http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.31.5.
Usually, I do not release any kernel package based on kernel version 2.6.31.[0-9] as I had some bad experience with it, plus it didn’t function as I would wished, but after some tests with this new kernel version I end-up with the conclusion it needs to be released.
Kernel 2.6.30.9-seahorse released for Debian/Ubuntu (Seahorse)
Oct 7th
I haven’t wrote on my blog for quite some time now and haven’t released a new kernel package neither. Because the kernel development moved in two versions and seems this two versions are a bit different I’m not sure even myself which direction to take. Well at the moment I kind of know, as I tested in all this period kernel 2.6.31 and 2.6.31.1 and got a bad conclusion: Not a very good kernel release! So this means only one thing, try to stick with kernel 2.6.30.[0-9].
At the moment, I have missed two releases, but now we have kernel 2.6.30.9 which I called Seahorse. I know is unusual, because I was using rock band names, but with this release I will start a new naming convention.
Kernel 2.6.31-final released for Debian/Ubuntu (Final)
Sep 10th
Kernel 2.6.31 is here and with that also the Debian/Ubuntu kernel package, called 2.6.31-final. Because this is a final release or a start of a new release (2.6.31), I wont named it after a rock band or anything like that.
Like usually, this kernel includes the latest bug fixed, features and improvements, plus acerhdf module for Acer Aspire One, coretemp fix for Intel Atom CPU’s and a bit of configuration settings to make sure it works better and faster. Also this new package release includes some more support for other laptops/computers besides Acer Aspire One and Lenovo laptops.
Revision 3 for kernel 2.6.30-final released…
Jun 17th
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
