new kernel?

[scradock]

Is there a new kernel available? I've seen a comment or two about people using 2.6.25, and here I am stuck on 2.6.24.17. Nothing in the Synaptic list that I can see - is .25 strictly for compile-it-yourselfers?

You can always find out by checking http://packages.ubuntu.com and/or https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+search.

You should be a little careful with .25 - there are some scheduler issues which might lead to an atrocious experience (depends on configuration). I know they are fixed in .26 just so you are warned

I'm also interested in installing the .25 kernel.

I've followed the instructions here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/200142/comments/6

But after running apt-get update I still can't see any reference to .25 in Synaptic. What am I doing wrong?

When I run apt-get update I can see it hitting the launchpad servers but still nothing in Synaptic.

2.6.26-rc3 has been released on May 18, 2008so its just a matter of time that the build happens and we get it to test stuff. It would take whatever time it has to take , we just have to be patient. I'm looking forward as some point after that there would be possibility to go to ext4, much improvement over existing things.

Nothing wrong...it seems to be building failures for the moment
