I'm not really concerned with which kernel the installer installs. I need the install CD itself to run the 2.6.21 kernel.
I just tried today's (15 July) businesscard ISO, booted of it with the following command:
expertgui vga=0x342When the installer came up, I hit Ctrl+Alt+F2 for a console, and did a uname -a. It gave me 2.6.18. This is what I want to check before downloading: which kernel the install CD uses, not which kernel it installs.
The reason is that 2.6.21 fixes an ACPI bug that prevents the CPU fan in my notebook from working correctly (if at all), amongst other things. I can install and upgrade the kernel, and that works fine, but I have to set up power management by hand, mostly. I want to see if I install of a disc running 2.6.21, i.e. it should detect and configure ACPI correctly, if it makes any difference to the default setup I get after installation.
