Changelog:
Kernel support for Centaur CPU
Kernel max CPU support increase to 16 cores
Kernel CONFIG_STRIP_ASM_SYSMS enabled
Kernel CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW enabled
Xen and KVM paravirtualize guest support
Enable High Precision Event Timer (HPET)
Update e1000e (e.g. i217) driver to version 3.0.4
Update igb (e.g. i210) driver to version 5.0.6
Update intel_idle to support Ivy Bridge and Ivy Bridge Xeon, and other features as posted here
New wireless drivers from backports-3.12.8-1 version
Bluetooth driver support
Remove wireless and multimedia kernel configuration, switch to backports (compat-drivers/compat-wireless)
Add alx driver to support Atheros AR816x/AR817x
Add pcc-cpufreq driver to support PCC interface implemented on certain HP Proliant platforms
Add powernow-k8 driver for K8/K10 Opteron/Athlon64 processors
Re-built flashcache driver
Fixed rmmod and insmod GRUB option
Fixed missing mpt2sas driver
Fixed v5 installation
Fixed I/O scheduler optimization
Known Issues:
No multimedia drivers and missing legacy wireless drivers
WOL is not supported by tg3 driver on some devices(e.g. NC107i)
Possible volume1 (/dev/md2+) and iSCSI corruption due to kernel changes, got hit twice while running some test
VM performance issues running on ESXi 5.5, need testers and more details
Download access to follow, don't fucking play with the form!
Notes:
To switch from older Intel drivers use the following GRUB option.
rmmod=e1000e_new,igb_new insmod=e1000e,igb
Manually insmod the new drivers using GRUB option or /etc/rc.local whatever fits your taste. There are some built-in drivers so don't report any issues when you get duplicate symbol messages. But if you find unknown symbol then its probably missing dependency or feature not enabled in the kernel.
Nuke /lib/modules and /.gnoboot if you are upgrading from alphaX to later versions.
