Kernel 2.6.32.1-deadlock released for Debian/Ubuntu (Deadlock)
Dec 15th
Yesterday, the kernel development team have released kernel version 2.6.32.1. As I was looking at the ChangeLog from kernel.org website, I have noticed that there are not much changes to this kernel, besides tons of fixed for ext4 file system. It seems the previous kernel, 2.6.32, had some regression when it came to ext4 file system. I’m not really sure how much of the issues were solved regarding the ext4 file system, but I hope it did improve, as there was some performance losses because of this.

Kernel 2.6.32-final for Debian/Ubuntu is here!
Dec 3rd
Today, the kernel development team has release the stable version of the kernel 2.6.32. This version should include a lot of bug fixes, improvements and added functionality and drivers. Like usual, when there is a kernel release, I also do a kernel package release, which in this case is called “final“, as its a major and stable release of a new kernel tree, 2 6.32. I’m not gonna talk too much about the this kernel release, but I will talk about the package which includes this kernel. 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-2.6.32.

Preview kernel 2.6.31.6 with ureadahead patch (2.6.31.6-bullet) for Ubuntu/Debian.

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).
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.
