Kernel 3.2.13 for Mandriva 2011.0 and 2010.2 - 32/64bit

SUSPENDED PROJECT: STILL TO BE FIXED!
IF YOU HAVE ALREADY INSTALLED FROM HERE, PLEASE REMOVE KERNEL 3.2

OTHER CORE PART IN THE KERNEL AREA MUST BE PREPARED AND UPDATED

Please, suspend the kernel install, as there are still some problems with kernel 3.2.x for Mandriva
The safest kernel are now: LTS Kernel 3.0.26 and recent Kernel 3.1.10, for Kernel 3.2.x we should fix some things

I discovered that in Mandriva 2010.2 and also in 2011.0 and cooker now there are some problems with kernel > 3.1
for some reasons, many important pieces of core are outdated, so new kernel like 3.2 cant works properly at 100%

In next days, we will port the prerequisites to make installing and using new kernel safer

dracut 017.15
it works fine with kernel >= 3.1 - enable XZ support, make a proper boot

mkinitrd 6.0.93-28
it works fine with kernel >= 3.1 - enable XZ support - make a proper boot

module-init-tools 3.16-16
it works fine with kernel >= 3.1 - enable XZ support - make a proper boot - load modules in the right mode

Per piacere, sospendete l'installazione del kernel 3.2 perchè ci sono problemi in mandriva con i kernel > 3.1
I kernel più sicuri sono adesso: LTS Kernel 3.0.26 ed il recente Kernel 3.1.10, per il Kernel 3.2.13 occorre fissare alcune cose

Ho scoperto che sia Mandriva 2010.2 che 2011.0 ma anche cooker non possono far funzionare al 100% kernel superiori al 3.1

Molti pezzi del core sono completamente obsoleti e non supportano molte delle caratteristiche dei nuovi kernel
Inoltre molti driver dkms non vengono aggiornati da chi dovrebbe, non sono più funzionanti e quindi è un vero incubo

Nei prossimi giorni proveremo ad aggiornare tutte le componenti necessarie, a testarle con i kernel 3.2 e superiori
Nei prossimi giorni porteremo i prerequisiti minimi per installare ed usare questi kernel in maniera soddisfacente

dracut 017.15
it works fine with kernel >= 3.1 - install fine initrd - enable XZ support - make a proper boot

mkinitrd 6.0.93-28
it works fine with kernel >= 3.1 - install fine initrd - enable XZ support - make a proper boot

module-init-tools 3.16-16
it works fine with kernel >= 3.1 - enable XZ support - make a proper boot - load ALL modules in a proper way

As I promised before, here is coming the new LTS Kernel LTS 3.2.13

Its sources have been available since this night,
this early morning I prepared nrj kernel-desktop for me, and now i am using it

We started all necessary rebuild, so the rpms should be available this night

That's my working PC where I'm writing this POST

Code: Select all

I remember to everybody tha MIB Kernel are universal, in the meaning that they are prepared in a way to be portable for 2010 upto 2012
they implement all the complete mandriva patchset, are well updated, and they are enhanced in their structure in every new versions...
