[Solved] Why 2.6.32 kernel as default, not 2.6.33
« on: April 16, 2010, 04:56:02 AM »
Pardon me if this was already answered somewhere...

I am just curious why did Texstar choosed 2.6.32 as the default kernel instead of 2.6.33.

Any reasons?

At any rate, I love the bfs versions. :)

Feedback from the beta testers said it had more issues than with 2.6.32.11.  It doesn't work with VMWare, speakers don't mute when headset plugged in...etc. You can always update to the 2.6.33.2 kernel from the repository.

Thanks to everyone who donates. You keep the servers running.

I hope this is allowed....

Does the .pae and .a64 kernels also use BFS?   Or just the .bfs?

The .32 series kernel is going to be kept up with updates for longer than the .33 series.
