Greg2 Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 From here: Newsletter128 Mandriva recently formed a significant technical partnership with the Japanese distributor Turbolinux. The joint development effort that resulted from this partnership is known as Manbo Labs. It involves engineers from Mandriva and Turbolinux working together on maintaining the core components of the distributions, with the resulting packages shared between both products. Core packages such as the kernel and glibc are now maintained by this joint project, with the results already integrated into Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring. You can spot the packages now developed by Manbo Labs in Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring as their names have the suffix 'mnb' rather than the usual 'mdv'. I would suggest using the latest kernel version- 2.6.24.5-2mnb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pindakoe Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 The files vmlinuz, initd.img, System.map, config and kernel.h in /boot are usually shortcuts to the most recently installed kernel versions of those files. This means that, after installing a new kernel, starting the first entry is the same as starting the last one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
