kernel-tmb-laptop-2.6.22.6-1mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.x86_64.rpm

Description:

The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of your
Mandriva Linux operating system. The kernel handles the basic functions
of the operating system: memory allocation, process allocation, device
input and output, etc. This kernel is compiled for laptop use, single or
multiple x86_64 processor(s)/core(s), using HZ_100 to save battery,
voluntary preempt, CFS cpu scheduler, cfq i/o scheduler and some other
laptop-specific optimizations. If you want to sacrifice battery life for
performance, you better use the kernel-tmb-desktop.
This kernel relies on in-kernel smp alternatives to switch between up & smp
mode depending on detected hardware. To force the kernel to boot in single
processor mode, use the "nosmp" boot parameter.

For instructions for update, see:

The tmb kernels is an experimental kernel based on the kernel.org
kernels with added patches. Some of them may/will never end up in
the main kernels due to their experimental nature. Some refer to
this kernel as a 'hackkernel' ...
Use these kernels at your own risk !!
