Really? You reported seemingly unfixable problem with 3.10 (100% CPU) without any solution and then switched to THAT kernel? You are pulling my leg here. > should go back to 3.4? use manual 3.10 builds, or try the HEAD? What works best for them, 3.4 or HEAD. -- Jan R?korajski | PLD/Linux SysAdm | http://www.pld-linux.org/ bagginsmimuw.edu.pl bagginspld-linux.org From baggins at pld-linux.org Thu Feb 27 17:50:38 2014 From: baggins at pld-linux.org (Jan =?utf-8?Q?R=C4=99korajski?=) Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2014 17:50:38 +0100 Subject: New kernels in th-ready Message-ID: <20140227165038.GB1488@home.mimuw.edu.pl> Hi, Because there is a demand for both 3.4 and 3.10 longterm kernel lines, we came up with new naming scheme for kernel packages that enables us to keep as many kernel lines as we want. So, instead of kernel-longterm-... we now have kernel-3.4-... and kernel-3.10-... packages, and of course master kernel-.... All 3 package sets are available in th-ready, the '-longterm' packages in th main repository will soon be replaced by new -3.4 and -3.10 sets. Devel: If you want to rebuild a package with kernel modules from now on please do it like this: make-request -r -a --without userspace --define 'build_kernels 3.4,3.10' package.spec -- Jan R?korajski | PLD/Linux SysAdm | http://www.pld-linux.org/ bagginsmimuw.edu.pl bagginspld-linux.org
