Hi All, With the Ubuntu 11.10 Kernel Freeze approaching, the Ubuntu Kernel Team felt this would also be an appropriate time to officially announce that the Ubuntu 11.10 kernel will be based on the v3.0 mainline kernel. During the Kernel Version and Flavors session [1] at UDS-Oneiric in Budapest, Hungary, we had originally planned to target what we thought we be a 2.6.40 kernel. However, upstream did a major rev of the kernel and released v3.0 instead. As Ubuntu 11.10 is not an LTS release and given the timing of the upstream kernel release, the Ubuntu Kernel Team feels that targeting the 3.0 kernel will provide our users the best support for new hardware, driver updates, and bug fixes. Going forward, we'll continue to update the Ubuntu 11.10 kernel with the upstream 3.0.y stable releases. For those seeking the fine grained details of all the changes provided in the Ubuntu 11.10 kernel, please refer to the git repository [2].
