[Texstar]

Kernel 2.6.32.x series has been updated to kernel 2.6.32.21. Full technical changelog located at here. This update also brings back the bfs kernel for the 2.6.32.x series. If you are still running the 2.6.32.x kernel you will be able to select one of the following kernels from the Synaptic Package Manager shortly.

kernel-2.6.32.21-pclos1-1-1pclos2010.i586.rpm - It is optimised for i686 CPUs, supports up to 4GB of system memory (highmem enabled). The kernel timer interrupt is set to 1000 HZ. It defaults to using the 'CFQ' scheduler, 'SMP' is enabled and is compiled with voluntary kernel preemption enabled.

kernel-2.6.32.21-pclos1.a64-1-1pclos2010.i586.rpm - This kernel package contains a AMD64/Opteron (K8) optimised kernel compiled for the x86 arch. It is compiled with kernel optimisations specifically for AMD 'K8' series CPUs, 'SMP'
is enabled, it supports up to 4GB of system memory and the kernel timer interrupt is set to 1000 HZ. It defaults to using the 'CFQ' scheduler and is compiled with voluntary kernel preemption enabled.

kernel-2.6.32.21-pclos1.pae-1-1pclos2010.i586.rpm - This kernel package contains a PAE enabled kernel. It is optimised for i686 CPUs, supports up to 64GB of high memory. The kernel timer interrupt is set to 100 HZ, defaults to using the 'CFQ' scheduler, 'SMP' is enabled and kernel preemption is disabled. Please Note: This kernel requires a CPU with Physical Address Extensions (PAE).

kernel-2.6.32.21-pclos1.bfs-1pclos2010.i586.rpm - This kernel package contains the kernel patched with the BFS scheduler from Con Kolivas. It is optimised for i686 CPUs, supports up to 4GB of system memory (highmem enabled). The kernel timer interrupt is set to 1000 HZ, it defaults to using the 'BFS' scheduler, 'SMP' is enabled and is compiled with kernel preemption enabled.

Please allow time on first boot of a new kernel to build various kernel drivers. This is a one time delay up to 10 minutes while new drivers build for the updated kernel.
