Why is lowlatency kernel not being updated in parallel with the generic kernel?

http://askubuntu.com – All, Any idea when we'll see updates to the lowlatency version of the Ubuntu 12.04 kernel? It is still stuck at 3.2.0.23 whereas the generic kernel is already several updates ahead of it at a version 3.2.0.25? NB: I am using a 64-bit version but I don't think this is limited to the 64-bit kernels alone but rather affects both 32-bit and 64-bit builds. Please do correct me if I am wrong about this.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, and at the time it was released, it was using v3.2.0-23 for both the generic and lowlatency kernels. However, since then, generic keeps getting updated and the lowlatency kernel is not updating anymore:

Current Generic version: 3.2.0-30 Current LowLatency version: 3.2.0-23

What happened here?

I updated ubuntu from 12.04 to 12.10 and my system is using the linux kernel "3.5.0-17-lowlatency".

Last time I looked into this, lowlatency wasn't officially supported. See this question.

Is the lowlatency kernel supported in 12.10 and turned on by default? I wasn't running this lowlatency in 12.04 so I'm wondering how this happened.

Hello,

What is the easiest way to revert back to an older kernel version?

If I do a fresh install, what's the easiest path to update to a specific kernel version?

I have two machines and need both to be in perfect sync version both are 11.10 based.

Can someone please detail how to install the “interim -lowlatency kernel” available in Allesio Bogani's PPA? I read about it on the Ubuntu Studio home page and I have already added Allesio's PPA.

I am using Ubuntu 11.10 32 bit on notebook core 2 duo, 4GiB RAM. In order Ubuntu to detect and use more than 3GiB RAM, I apt-get PAE Kernel. The problem comes when there were two update of kernel, linux-generic kernel and linux-generic-pae.

Should I update linux-generic-pae kernel only? if the answer yes, how to stop update notification of linux-generic kernel?

The last two times I ran freebsd-update install the machine (re)booted from the GENERIC kernel instead of my custom kernel.

As suggested by Freebsd Update (section 25.2.2) I have a GENERIC kernel in /boot/GENERIC:

Note: It is a good idea to always keep a copy of the GENERIC kernel in /boot/GENERIC. It will be helpful in diagnosing a variety of problems, and in performing version upgrades using f

I'd like to block all distribution-shipped kernel updates due to a nasty thing that recently happened to me. (I'm on a Ubuntu 12.04 amd64 derivative.)

I'd like to block all updates to installed kernels of the minor version 3.2 to the linux-headers, linux-headers-generic, linux-image, and linux-image-extra packages.

[Q] updating I9100 kernel 33 weeks 9 hours ago

OK so I have an GS2 running:

rom = 20120806 CM9

kernel version = 3.0.32-CM-ge9cef6cinky-ghost@cyanogenmod#1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Aug 5

Baseband = I9100XXKE7

Android = 4.0.4

Ok so I did the whole Odin thing for the first and only time around March/April updating from GB and haven't touched the kernel version of this phone again so it's quite old.

linux generic headers? 9 weeks 1 day ago

I have updated my kernel headers, what does that mean for the kernel? I heard that generic headers/kernels are NOT the "real" linux kernel. I currently have the 3.5.0-generic linux, but my father said I shouldnt have chosen this one because its a development headers and potentially unstable (which I experienced it with some versions of it). He said I should get the 3.2.0-headers/kernel.
