Kernel nrj 3.11.10-2 for ROSA 2012 2012.1 & OM 2013 cooker

Post by NicCo »

Kernel 3.11.10 for ROSA Marathon (2012.0), ROSA Desktop.Fresh 2012 (2012.1), OpenMandriva 2013.0 and Cooker

In brief: This version contains bug fix, updated drivers, many improvments, amongst other things:
a speedup for all free video drivers, better EFI compatibility, better Haswell compatibility, others...



What is changing with the new release -2
Paolo Valente and Arianna Avanzini, have just now sent us the new I/O scheduler BFQ v7R4
into an mail attachment: as I requested giving the priority to kernels 3.13, 3.10, 3.12, then 3.0

This is an absolute preview! - Infact currently these patches have NOT still been published...

In this way I can prepare ASAP the new release of kernel 3.13.11 for OpenMandriva Lx 2014:
It should fix a rare issue that may happen with NCQ HDD devices, when these are detected
as NOT NCQ capable, all that may lead tonoticeable slowdowns and so many nasty oops...

The issue happened rarely, it was reported by few liquorix kernel users
to be reproduced and verified it occurred to be injected, now it's fixed...

After verifying that all is OK in my PCs, and all is working well for the Kernel 3.13.11-2,
I'll apply the same release patches into the kernel 3.10.40for ROSA Fresh R3, and son on for all our supported kernels!

HIGHLIGHTS (taken for 3.11.10 %changelog)
- add a patch to speed-up nuveau / radeon timers improvments for (from an 3.12 idea),

INFO about the SRPM build possibilities and rpm availability:
For ROSA Marathon we'll build Kernels LTS: 3.0, 3.2, 3.4, all the latest kernels up to the 3.11 series.
For ROSA Fresh we are building all Kernel versions starting only from the 3.6 to the most recent series
For "Cooker" we are building all Kernel versions starting only from the 3.8 to the most recent series
For old distros Mandriva 2010 and 2011, we are maintaining build compatibility: you can also rebuild,
but we CANNOT prepare the rpms for You, as we have no chance to build with ABF or in our own PCs

Kernel 3.11.10 by MIB
This is prepared like the official one used for ROSA Desktop.Fresh 2012
this version is the prepared by MIB for Mandriva and ROSA development

Since 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...
