Kernel 3.4.33 nrjQL for ROSA Marathon 2012.0 & MDV 2010 2011

Post by **NicCo** » 28 February 2013, 18:27

Monthly update for LTS Kernel 3.4 - February 2013 edition

Kernel 3.4.33 QL (Quantum Leap) for ROSA MARATHON 2012, and Mandriva 2010, Mandriva 2011.0

General INFO about the new project - Read carefully!
Kernel nrjX(treme?), the Next Generation... a step forward

nrjQL suffix is the new temporary codename > http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_leap

Metaphorically, quantum leap also means a "quantum leap" or like a radical paradigm shift in science, technology, or in other contexts.
Metaforicamente, quantum leap indica anche un salto di qualità o un radicale mutamento di paradigma nella scienza, nella tecnologia o in altri contesti.

Since this version, we started using NRJ model v2 (much improved), the same we developed for kernels 3.5 and 3.6
More Info: New nrj and nrjQL model v2 for Kernel from 3.0 to 3.4 series >>> viewtopic.php?f=38&t=3551

It's a very complete flavours list

kernel-nrjQL-desktop = mainline kernel-nrj-desktop plus the add of +CK1 +BFS +BFQ +TOI +UKSM

kernel-nrjQL-realtime > like mainline kernel-nrj-realtime plus the add of +CK1 +BFS +BFQ +TOI +UKSM
It's the one optimized for all realtime and pro audio apps (DAW) > examples: Jackd, Ardour, Rosegarden, ecc...

kernel-nrjQL-laptop > like mainline kernel-nrj-laptop plus the add of +CK1 +BFS +BFQ +TOI +UKSM
with laptop configs and lower internal frequency, ONDEMAND profile to improve battery lasting

kernel-nrjQL-netbook > like mainline kernel-nrj-netbook plus the add of +CK1 +BFS +BFQ +TOI +UKSM
with netbook configs and lower internal frequency, ONDEMAND profile to improve battery lasting

kernel-nrjQL-server > like mainline kernel-server plus the add of +CK1 +BFS +BFQ +TOI +UKSM
to be used in a generic server environment (like LAMP) and other server apps

kernel-nrjQL-server-games > like mainline kernel-server plus the add of +CK1 +BFS +BFQ +TOI +UKSM
to be used in a game server PC for 3D FPS games, for example CounterStrike

kernel-nrjQL-server-computing > like mainline kernel-server plus the add of +CK1 +BFS +BFQ +TOI +UKSM
to be used in a cumputational server when you need some less times to file encoder, converter, and build programs
Then we have all PAE flavours, and for now only one CPU oriented (new Intel) + PAE

kernel-nrjQL-desktop-pae

kernel-nrjQL-realtime-pae

kernel-nrjQL-laptop-pae

kernel-nrjQL-netbook-pae
these have been optimized for all Intel cpus greater than Pentium4 (starting from Centrino upto I3/I5/I7)

kernel-nrjQL-desktop-core2

kernel-nrjQL-desktop-core2-pae

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 3.4.33 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
