New Kernel revision 2.6.27-15

[felpouse]

Hi all,

actually if I do an aptitude update and aptitude dist-upgrade, I can see many packages for the upgrade procedure but also the kernel version that is not the latest official kernel is -14 that was mentioned in the alpha wiki pages.

Here an extract of what I'm saing :

Code Select Expand


linux-headers-2.6.27-15{a}
linux-headers-2.6.27-15-generic{a}
linux-image-2.6.27-15-generic
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-15-generic


This could be a possible problem in stability to all the system or not? Or it's better to not touch the actual kernel version? For me is 2.6.27-14-generic .

Many thanks in advance and best regards

Luke

P.S. : I'm thinking, what happen in a possible new installation started today using the last installer and the last info on the beta page (LinuxMCE-0810 beta)?  Which kernel will be used. Thanks.

you will get the newest one that kubuntu has out, and there is nothing wrong with that. if you want to know what was changed/fixed, they do keep changelogs somewhere.

Hi Merkur,

you are completely right, but for example if you want to use the zaptel driver for asterisk, actually I have this one zaptel-modules-2.6.27-14-generic, and I think that this will not be working post upgrade.

Actually I don't know how many packages are completely depending on the 2.6.27-14 kernel.

Sure for one of mine DVB card I need to recompile the linuxtv drivers but I'd already do it.

Thats all

Luke
