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_250 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.
NOTE! This kernel also uses TuxOnIce by default.

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 !!
