linux 2.6.30 rc2 on ubuntu jaunty for 64 bits
there is an new repository blessed by the kernel team
you can download the deb files from there
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30-rc2/
../linux-headers-2.6.30-020630rc2_2.6.30-020630rc2_all.deb
../linux-headers-2.6.30-020630rc2-generic_2.6.30-020630rc2_amd64.deb
../linux-image-2.6.30-020630rc2-generic_2.6.30-020630rc2_amd64.deb
and download with wget or by browser
the from the terminal
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
reboot and let's see the kernel bugs , if you are "lucky" to have an nvidia video card
then you need to patch the nvidia driver so it can compile
$sudo su
# sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.44-pkg2.run --extract-only
# cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.44-pkg2/usr/src/nv/
# http://pavlinux.ru/nv/nvidia-x86_64-180.44-2.6.30-rc2.patch
# patch -p0 < nvidia-x86_64-180.44-2.6.30-rc2.patch
# cd ../../../
# ./nvidia-installer
Thanks dude, these kernel packages works perfectly. I have one suggestion tho. Could u make new kernel package with qcserial as module ? Now it seem like its disabled.
ReplyDeletethanks alot.
There is an new rc3 to download
ReplyDeletehttp://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30-rc3/i guess you can get the source and compile yourself , i will try to write an tutorial for you
Also there is an kernel team channel on irc
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam
There is no need to write tutorial howto compile kernel, atleast not for me. It just so nice to use debs =)

ReplyDeleteI have installed the 2.6.30 kernel from the kernel.ubuntu.com site on the top of the Ubuntu-9.04 installtion on my newest MacPRO. The ethertnet driver e1000e started working instantly but the ksoftirqd eaten up 100% time. Any Clue?
ReplyDeletethat is with the latest 2.6.30 kernel (no RC) ?
ReplyDeletemaybe we should ask on kernel channel on irc also on kernel mailing list
