This update contains the upgrade to the latest stable kernel 2.6.39
as shipped with Mandriva Linux 2011 Powerpack. The summary of the changes made during this release can be found at the usual places like http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_39 It's worth noticing that for this release the BKL (big kernel lock) has been completely removed. Besides the mainline changes there's also some changes by Mandriva. - IDE old stack has been totally disabled: we're not using the old IDE drivers which were known to cause problems for some users with CD/DVD drives. - It includes the backport of the rtl8192se driver which was available on older kernels through a dkms (dkms-r8192se) (#64022) - Some fixes was backported from the 3.0 tree, see for details: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.mandrake.cooker.devel/312832 Additionally binary kernel dkms modules for fglrx, nvidia173, nvidia-current, virtualbox, vpnclient is being provided. The nvidia-96xx driver version (96.43.19) was obsolete and incompatible with X.org 1.10. A new binary kernel dkms module version 96.43.20 is also being provided with this advisory to adddres this problem (#64727). |
