Custom 32 bit ubuntu kernel 3.0.1 optimized for atom processors or netbook

I did a build of Kernel 3.0.1 ubuntu way for my netbook. The kernel is 32 bit and optimized for atom processors.

A nice pdf explaining how to install or how to build yourself is here

I installed the kernel in my netbook and broadcom dkms modules worked fine(as the kernel was built the ubuntu way it should build dkms modules)

Here are the screenshots of Kernel 3.0.1 running inside my netbook





Once again, I used Linux Mint 10 running inside virtualbox to build.


Here are the dropbox download links

    Will this work on Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook and my Asus 1005HAB? Its a Atom N270 machine. Thanks

    It works on 10.04, you need to call update-initramfs and update-grub after installing.

    Also, broadcom wireless module does not work in Mint 10 which is based on 10.10

    I have 11.04 in my netbook and after upgrading broadcom from oneiric, wireless started working

    Just wanted to report that everything worked great thanks. I did not need that broadcom driver, my internet worked out of the box. Finny thing is after setting up Ubuntu 10.04 I decided I just didnt like it. I want something with pure speed so giving Lubuntu 11.04 a try now. Really saddens me that Ubuntu is no longer making a Netbook version anymore. I will try this kernel on Lubuntu 11.04, but so far I really like its simple clean and fast feel. Thanks again.

    Update: This kernel works great on Lubuntu 11.04. Thanks for your hard work and dedication to open source.

      Are you running 64 bit OS as Intel N450 supports it.

      I gave my netbook to someone else, I only have 64 bit systems

      If you run 64 bit OS, I will build atom optimized 64 bit kernel and upload it
