Oh.. the order on that list is purely alphabetical. There is no total order. Both 2.6.30.1 and 2.6.31-rc1 are based on 2.6.30. So a 2.6.30.X is hard to compare to a 2.6.31-rcY. Since the Karmic kernel is based on 2.6.31.4 I guess the relavant order to use is 2.6..29, 2.6.30-rc1, ..., 2.6.30-rc8 , 2.6.30, 2.6.31-rc1, ..., 2.6.31-rc9, 2.6.31, 2.6.31.1, 2.6.31.4. You can sort them according to date by using the URL: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=M;O=D > these did not work: > v2.6.31-rc7/22-Aug-2009 11:41 > v2.6.31-rc8/28-Aug-2009 11:41 v > 2.6.31-rc9/06-Sep-2009 11:43 > v2.6.31.1/29-Sep-2009 18:32 > > v2.6.31/11-Sep-2009 00:29 > > these did: > v2.6.31-rc6/14-Aug-2009 11:24 > v2.6.30/10-Jun-2009 11:27 - > v2.6.31-rc1-fix1/06-Jul-2009 13:06 - > v2.6.31-rc2/05-Jul-2009 11:16 This is great! That means that there is something between 2.6.31-rc6 and 2.6.31-rc7 that introduced the freezes. I will see if I can get some test kernels built for you that has only some of those changes. That way we may find the exact commit that introduced the freezes. > How do I get rid of all the list of kernel choices on the page that > stops - I deleted most of them as you said "To remove them completely > from your" but they keep showing up as a long list... Do the kernels that you tried to remove still show up in the output of `dpkg -l | grep linux-image`? If not, try to run `sudo update-grub`. I thought this was automatically run when you removed a kernel package, but I know the behaviour has changed somewhat between the Jaunty and Karmic versions, and maybe Jaunty doesn't do it. The actual entries come from the file /boot/grub/menu.lst, but this should be poplulated with only the installed kernels when you run `sudo update-grub`. > MORE INFO: Let's hope the difference in symptoms between rc7 and rc8 is not relevant for now. I'll keep it in mind, though. -- [i945g] freezes shortly after loading desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/500686 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
