THis is the liquorix kernel that will get successfully installed.....

Done......just reboot to the new kernel.

Amazingly enough this liquorix kernel is more stable than the default kernel packed with Ubuntu 12.04 and kernel 3.6.6!!((but credit must also goto GCC4.7). This kernel integrates the BFS(brain @$#! scheduler) and those who know what it is and its benefits will know this is the best thing money cant buy......built by another aussie Con Kolivas. Strangely enough he also developed the fair scheduling and the algorithms upon which CFS (Completely Fair Scheduler) was built and now formally inducted and a de-facto standard for linux kernels.

Those facing Nvidia 550ti startup problems and other radeon problems can try this..........as this is not only stable but causes the least compiz(but WHO cares for compiz!!) crashes..

Note: for all you 32-bit lovers there is a 32 bit available in the repos.

I tried the BFS kernel 3.2......-ck .......but got a terminal and wasn't able to get gui.....until i get more time..

this thing so far hasn't auto-pooped out on me.
Both 3.2 and 3.6.6 had horrible problems with compiz using amdccc........but im guessing its to do strictly with gcc.

[pam]

Nice .......but i got nothing nvidia ........... i wish i had

testing it and no Nothing, absolutely nothing --no crashes with this kernel!!...............so far.
using amdccc 12.10
and KDE is working SOOPAH KOOL!

[Moebius]

Had to try 3.6.0-7 on the Oz development branch.
Smooth as silk.
No hitch with Nvidia either - All kernel headers intact.

[pch.shot]

Nice. I use silver. Softer than Blue and brighter than black.

[pam]

having used quantal 12.10 ......it just seems that is what 12.04 should have been.
Unity is beautiful and solid with no crashes and a worthwhile desktop.

Well Someone is at least maintaining the stuff at the liquorix place........projects like these just go kaput........i hope it doesn't.

Good stuff pam caught my eye. Found similar kernel for Debian Sid named linux-image-3.6.9-pf. Actually can be used on debian and mint. Has liquorix like patches :
[m] mainline update
[m] -ck patchset with BFS
[m] BFQ I/O scheduler
[m] TuxOnIce
[m] UKSM
Little difference from my last 3.6 trunk kernel but im not done with it yet. Looking forward to see how well it performs...
