Kernel 3.6.2 QL (Quantum Leap) for ROSA MARATHON 2012, ROSA Desktop 2012 (2012.1) and Mandriva 2010, MDV2011.0
General INFO about the new project - Read carefully!
Kernel nrjX(treme?), the Next Generation... a step forward
nrjQL suffix is the new temporary codename > http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_leap
Metaforicamente, quantum leap indica anche un salto di qualità o un radicale mutamento di paradigma nella scienza, nella tecnologia o in altri contesti.
English:
Metaphorically, quantum leap also indicates a "quantum leap" or better like a radical paradigm shift in science, technology, or in other contexts.
While the mainline kernel serie is
Kernel 3.6.2 for ROSA 2012.0 / 2012.1 & Mandriva 2010 2011
While we could consider the fist public version of Kernel 3.5.3-69 only as an Alfa version
We can consider this new version 3.6.2-69 as a RC1 version (with all features enabled)
On all new flavours have been developed points named 1 to 6 (CK1/BFS/BFQ/TOI/UKSM)
now added also AUFS3 and the feature to boot even from UEFI FAT devices
actually inserted / enabled the TuxOnIce feature active only in -laptop -netbook flavours
Temporary flavour names list - nrjQL is the temporary codename for this RC version
- kernel-nrjQL-desktop = mainline kernel-nrj-desktop plus the add of +CK1 +BFS +BFQ +TOI +UKSM
- kernel-nrjQL-realtime > like mainline kernel-nrj-realtime plus the add of +CK1 +BFS +BFQ +TOI +UKSM
It's the one optimized for all realtime and pro audio apps (DAW) > examples: Jackd, Ardour, Rosegarden, ecc... - kernel-nrjQL-laptop > like mainline kernel-nrj-laptop plus the add of +CK1 +BFS +BFQ +TOI +UKSM
with laptop configs and lower internal frequency, ONDEMAND profile to improve battery lasting - kernel-nrjQL-netbook > like mainline kernel-nrj-netbook plus the add of +CK1 +BFS +BFQ +TOI +UKSM
with netbook configs and lower internal frequency, ONDEMAND profile to improve battery lasting - kernel-nrjQL-server > like mainline kernel-server plus the add of +CK1 +BFS +BFQ +TOI +UKSM
to be used in a generic server environment (like LAMP) and other server apps - kernel-nrjQL-server-games > like mainline kernel-server plus the add of +CK1 +BFS +BFQ +TOI +UKSM
to be used in a game server PC for 3D FPS games, for example CounterStrike - kernel-nrjQL-server-computing > like mainline kernel-server plus the add of +CK1 +BFS +BFQ +TOI +UKSM
to be used in a cumputational server when you need some less times to file encoder, converter, and build programs

- 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 3.6.2 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
