linux-image-2.6.17-12-generic 2.6.17.1-12.39
linux-image-2.6.17-12-hppa32 2.6.17.1-12.39
linux-image-2.6.17-12-hppa64 2.6.17.1-12.39
linux-image-2.6.17-12-itanium 2.6.17.1-12.39
linux-image-2.6.17-12-mckinley 2.6.17.1-12.39
linux-image-2.6.17-12-powerpc 2.6.17.1-12.39
linux-image-2.6.17-12-powerpc-smp 2.6.17.1-12.39
linux-image-2.6.17-12-powerpc64-smp 2.6.17.1-12.39
linux-image-2.6.17-12-server 2.6.17.1-12.39
linux-image-2.6.17-12-server-bigiron 2.6.17.1-12.39
linux-image-2.6.17-12-sparc64 2.6.17.1-12.39
linux-image-2.6.17-12-sparc64-smp 2.6.17.1-12.39
After a standard system upgrade you need to reboot your computer to
effect the necessary changes.
ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the Ubuntu 6.10 kernel updates
have been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and
reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed. If you
use linux-restricted-modules, you have to update that package as well to
get modules which work with the new kernel version. Unless you manually
uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages (linux-386, linux-powerpc,
linux-amd64-generic, etc), a standard system upgrade will automatically
perform this as well.
