Kernel 2.6.35 released and running on fit-PC2

Last Sunday, Linus Torvald released Linux kernel 2.6.35. Because I've just upgraded my "fit-PC2" to Ubuntu 10.04, I was courageous to compile the new kernel on this tiny Atom driven computer.

 

This took several hours because I was to lazy to deselect most of the features in the kernel.

 

I was a little surprised that the initrd wasn't build during installation of my build linux-image debian package. I had to copy manually the postinst script for the initramfs:

 

cp /usr/share/kernel-package/examples/etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs \
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/

 

 

The kernel is working. But there is one strange message during booting the kernel. It seems not to hurt the system but anyway:

 

pci_root PNP0A08:00: address space collision: host bridge window 
[mem 0x000c0000-0x000dffff] conflicts with reserved [mem 0x000d0000-0x000fffff]
