https://bbs.archlinux.org – You do realize, you don't have to replace the stock kernel when you compile a new one.  You can install multiple kernels and their support files are in /lib/modules in directories defined by the kernel name.My system has 3 kernels installed.  The standard Arch kernel, the -ck kernel from AUR, and (Because you can take the boy away from Gentoo, but you can't take Gentoo out of the boy) a kernel that has been downloaded from kernel.org and custom built for this laptop.  All three kernels are on my boot partition and are selected by name in my grub entries.When you screw (HowTos)

Stories similar to Compiling a Kernel. Benefits / Risks / Tips & Tricks ?

About six days ago, I downloaded and installed kernel-default2.6.35.1.1.i586.rpm on one of my Opensuse 11.2 boxes and it appears theses kernels are baked and tested daily?

xenstored cannot start 1 year 5 weeks ago

My base system is Gentoo x64, and I compiled my kernel with Xen paravirtualization support. The kernel can boot without any problem in native mode. But when boot in Xen mode, I cannot start the xenstored service.

There are many similar questions already on the site, but after reading through them, I still think my question unanswered.

Basically there is no bass. That sums it up. The chip is an Intel ICH10 - RealTek ALC889 And I'm using the latest updates from 12.10. (-25 kernel).

I'm willing to try backported alsa modules or anything similar. Patches, kernels, whatever. Is there a solution?

So I switched to the Liquorix kernel. It's a good improvement over the standard Debian kernels.Everyone who's using Liquorix does notice that there is quite a lot of kernel upgrades. So far I think that I've had one at least once a week.This gives  a lot of kernels installed on my machine.

I couldnt post in the kernel thread because I don't have enough posts yet..

I installed clean Rom a month or so ago and have been updating to the new versions ever Since, everything had been running perfectly on the stock kernel. I got the itch to try a new kernel and decided to try out the elemental kernel (later tried the beast mode as well).

Hi All, First, i wanna say "i'm sorry if this was posted in this X10's forum" :). Well..

I got Paranoid 3 as my internal rom, running franco kernel. However, gaming and file transfer with computer seem slow and laggy as a 2gigs movie took 15 mins to copy from pc to nexus 7, so I'd like to install stock rom and stock kernel as an alternative I can use when I want to transfer files.

Since i have Fedora 17, the system updated the kernel several times. Now when i boot, the GRUB boot loader shows 3 different kernels. 3.3.. 3.2.. and 3.1... it boots from the newest 3.3.. like it should.

But now i ask myself, does this harm the system to have 3 different kernels ?

They store all their kernels for a long time, so it`s possible to upgrade in steps and revert back to the last one that worked, when and if you get to a kernel that introduces new issues, like all 3.7 and 3.8 kernels do for me.
