That's why 2.6.27 should be more mainstream. To reiterate thethoughts of millions of right-thinking people, 2.6.27 should be the "official" Lenny kernel. Or at least be packaged alongside 2.6.26 in the final distribution as an alternative.Well I certainly wouldn't object to 2.6.27 being the Lenny kernel, but I have no say in that matter.That would break all three nvidia drivers currently within non-free, so it is not necessarily a good idea for the people that rely on those for a desktop.What's the deal, anyway? The nVidia blob installer tries to make like it can't find the kernel headers, nor the compiled output.
What version?(I just built a kernel from linux-source-2.6.28, but haven't booted it yet. Still on 2.6.27 snap 12516. Using binary 177.82, kernel 64 bit with 32 bit userland. Works like a charm...)
