Ubuntu and hardware support regressionUbuntu and hardware support regressionPosted Jul 24, 2008 11:20 UTC (Thu) by callegar (guest, #16148)In reply to: Ubuntu and hardware support regression by wt Parent article: Ubuntu, security response, and community contributions Not likely that there will be a backport of a whole kernel to hardy. This has already been asked in many occasions as a remedy for the random freezes that the hardy kernel experiences on some hardware, but has been so far excluded. Possibly, there can be a backport of specific features from 2.6.x with x>24 to 2.6.24. To me it remains a mistery why kernel version x with patches including pieces of version x+k should be less of a jump in the dark than version x+k itself given that typically x+k will have already received more testing than x plus patches will ever have. Also to me it remains a mistery to me why distros do not package as an alternative to their own kernels the vanilla kernels from kernel.org.
