Kernel 3.6.5 for ROSA 2012.0 / 2012.1 & Mandriva 2010 2011

[NicCo]

Kernel 3.6.5 for ROSA MARATHON 2012, ROSA Desktop 2012 (2012.1) and Mandriva 2010, MDV2011.0

Kernel 3.6 - General features
http://www.h-online.com/open/features/W ... 14690.html

Kernel 3.6.5 - Announce
https://lwn.net/Articles/522218/

All users of the 3.6 kernel series must upgrade.

Kernel 3.6.5 by MIB
This is prepared like the official one used for ROSA 2012 LTS MARATHON
this version is the prepared by MIB for Mandriva and ROSA development

In October you could find some differences and news also in this mainline serie,
the reason it that we are in full development mode for ROSA 2012.1:
from version 3.5.6 we will release two new flavours and also their 32bit pae versions

• kernel-nrj-laptop > It's optimized for laptop PCs, with a particular attention for cpu cooling and the battery lasting
• kernel-nrj-realtime > It's optimized to have the lowest latency and so it's better for realtime apps like jackd, ecc...

IMPORTANT, READ!

• New path of the Kernel folders for Mandriva and ROSA
  General INFO about the new kernel paths and also about the new proprietary kernel drivers
• Before downloading and installing any kernel 3.6.5 flavour, you need to install the Required microcode firmware!
  Microcode firmwares for cpu AMD / INTEL updates
  With the proper cpu microcode enabled you can obtain a more reliability of you system, especially indespensable in server area, so when your cpu has a defect, kernel will found the best work-around to avoid slowdowns, or dangerous oops that could harm till to freeze your OS...
• Notice for the users of MDV 2011!
  Some problems could still occour in Mandriva 2011 by dracut remaining problems with installation and update
  these problems if / when happen are not our fault, because aren't related to the kernel contents or packaging...
  Once I succeeded to solve this ugly problem, installing the "dracut" version from RM2012 repositories into 2011

DON'T INSTALL VMWARE products with Kernel > 3.4, otherwise the PC freezes and even the boot...
You must boot with a Kernel less than 3.5 (example 3.4.11), then patch vmware with the 3.5 patch (working also for 3.6)
after the patch, you can boot every kernel 3.5 and 3.6

Here VMWare with the tested and working 3.5 (It has been tested also for kernel 3.6)

Updated kernel on my rosa 2012.0. Good work NicCo!

[MauRice]

Kernel-3.6.5-2 nrj works perfect on Mandriva 2011 64bits.
Especially after a Bios update for the MB Asus M2N-E SLI.
This solved the boot-problem with Mandriva 2012 and Mangeia 2 also.

A rebuild of the SRPM for Mandriva 2012 failed.

Ciao,
MauRice

[NicCo]

This solved the boot-problem with Mandriva 2012 and Mangeia 2 also.

Which problem solved? Your phrase is rather cryptic..., I can't understand!

A rebuild of the SRPM for Mandriva 2012 failed.

SRPM uses different parts checking the target destination build via %mdvver

For ROSA Desktop 2012 now this value is
%if %{mdvver} == 201210

perhaps mdv2012 has still 201200

in this case the rebuild try to use the old RM2012 requests, buildrequests, ecc...
and all those are like or very close to the ones for mdv2011, and CAN'T build,
there should be no other particular reasons srpm does not build for mdv 2012

If so I hope that Open Mandriva 2012 will change this value to "201210" soon,
that would make easier rebuild from rosa2012.1 to OMdv 2012 and viceversa

when Open Mandriva foundation will have working ABF, we'll try to find a solution


bye, NicCo

NicCo,

Didn't I mentioned it somewhere, that before the BIOS update, I have to use the boot-options 'acpi=off irqpoll' to boot Mandriva 2012 and Mageia 2.
