Kernel 3.5.6 by MIB
This is prepared like the official one used for ROSA 2012 LTS MARATHON
this version is the prepared by MIB for Mandriva and ROSA development
For ROSA Desktop 2012 (2012.1) it will be available in official /main repo.

In October you could find some differences and news also in this mainline serie,
the reason it that we are in full development mode for ROSA 2012.1:
from this 3.5.6 we will release two new flavours and also their 32bit pae versions
  • kernel-nrj-laptop > It's optimized for laptop PCs, with a particular attention for cpu cooling and the battery lasting
  • kernel-nrj-realtime > It's optimized to have the lowest latency and so it's better for realtime apps like jackd, ecc...

  • New path of the Kernel folders for Mandriva and ROSA
    General INFO about the new kernel paths and also about the new proprietary kernel drivers
  • Before downloading and installing any kernel 3.5.6 flavour, you need to install the Required microcode firmware!
    Microcode firmwares for cpu AMD / INTEL updates
    With the proper cpu microcode enabled you can obtain a more reliability of you system, especially indespensable in server area, so when your cpu has a defect, kernel will found the best work-around to avoid slowdowns, or dangerous oops that could harm till to freeze your OS...
  • Notice for the users of MDV 2011!
    Some problems could still occour in Mandriva 2011 by dracut remaining problems with installation and update
    these problems if / when happen are not our fault, because aren't related to the kernel contents or packaging...
    Once I succeeded to solve this ugly problem, installing the "dracut" version from RM2012 repositories into 2011

On my 2010.2 x64 I have to point out 2 problems:
- grub doesn't show the kind of kernel 3.5.6 in the list but it starts under the mandriva default boot only
- I have manually recharged the wifi service with fwcutter and b43 procedure because the kernel does not initialize wifi card (the dkms-broadcom-wl starts wifi card but doesn't talk with the router so the internet pages aren't charged, I don't know why)
More informations: chip wifi broadcom 4306 v.3
