Kernel 2.6.38-1?

Noel and my programmer friends.

    Kernel 2.6.38-1 was released today for Ubuntu Natty.  Can you guys get a patch out for this kernel??

Thank you.

Marty Felker

PS The patch for Kernel 2.6.37 now works perfectly with no error messages at all.  lKudos.

Installed the CDROM of Ubuntu Natty Daily Build about a week ago (you can goggle for Ubuntu Natty Daily and find your flavor - I use 64 bit alternate install myself. The update - manager GUI hangs for me so I use the CLI suod aptitude lupdate followed by sudo safe-upgraDed (rathe than dist-upgrade for caution). Then not only did the generic 2.6.38-1 appear but also the server and virtual kernels at that level. I cannot tell you my sources.list because at athe moment I am in Windows 7 - however it is the standard sources that came with Natty -enabling other software sources and third party of course. As to the nature of the post I reinstalled VirtualBox and its working fine under the new kernel. I guess sometimes you don't get what you paid for

.

BTWE somewhat opp topic - does anybody know where openSUSE puts its kernele header filess. It s not in the standard /usr/sric so I can cojmple VMware of the version of Virtualbox that s not the OSE.

Today upgraded from Ubuntu 10.10 to the Alpha 11.04.  Looks like all is well with the exception of VMWare.  Need patch for kernel 2.6.38-2.
