Name : kernel
Product : Fedora 14
Version : 2.6.35.10
Release : 72.fc14
URL : http://www.kernel.org/
Summary : The Linux kernel
Description :
The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of any
Linux operating system. The kernel handles the basic functions
of the operating system: memory allocation, process allocation, device
input and output, etc.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Hopefully fix Radeon R600 and V4L/LIRC issues on top of the previous update.
Revert v4l update in previous update, since it has undebugged issues that must be addressed. Also pull in a patch from Neil Horman to fix delays while tcpdumping, and another patch queued upstream to solve some issues with NFS/btrfs/xfsdump/selinux.
Linux 2.6.35.10
Enable C++ demangling in perf.
Attempt to account for load average a bit better.
Enable newt TUI in perf.
Fix TPM stall on boot.
Fix a bug in orinoco wifi driver.
Fix jbd2 warnings with quota.
Fix issues mounting btrfs subvolumes.
Disable ASPM if BIOS asks us to.
V4L rebase to latest upstream.
