Custom kernel 2.6.39 ubuntu amd64 packages optimized for core2 and above processors

The following are the dropbox links for the kernel 2.6.39 built by me optimized for core2 and above processors. This is 64 bit package.

I copied kernel source into /usr/src/ folder and built. This fixes the symlink problem in the built binary (earlier binary packages have symlink pointing to my home folder which is fixed by this build)

The packages are built with CORE2 processor with 300 HZ frequency. The packages have transparent hugepage support enabled.

Compiled kernel with transparent hugepage support

Today I compiled linux kernel 2.6.38.5 with transparent hugepage support enabled. Also changed the march and mtune in arch/x86/Makefile to native for CORE2

Enjoying the new kernel, will upload it tomorrow, feeling sleepy ...

When CD writing app does not honor my speed setting

Today I tried to write a Ubuntu ISO to CD using Brasero. I changed the speed of burning to 8x and expected brasero to honor it.

I heard a roaring noise and to my shock brasero was writing the CD with full speed. Nonsense, I hate ....

I removed brasero using synaptic and tried gnome-baker. Wow it is super and to my liking, it honors my speed setting.

This is my personal rant, don't get offended and I may change my opinion about brasero if brasero works with next version. Until then goodbye brasero
