Latest Kernel Build!

I like to get an answer, why it is?

Old Kernel

[jada@archlinux-01 ~]$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.24-ARCH (root@T-POWA-LX) (gcc version 4.2.3) #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Feb 10 15:21:33 UTC 2008
[jada@archlinux-01 ~]$

New Kernel kernel26 2.6.24.3-1

[jada@archlinux-01 ~]$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.24-ARCH (root@artin) (gcc version 4.2.3) #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Feb 27 01:15:32 CET 2008
[jada@archlinux-01 ~]$

what confuse me are this parts old (root@T-POWA-LX) new (root@artin)!

Because tpowa built the old one, and brain0 built the new one?

Re: Latest Kernel Build!

Is 2.6.24.3 already in [core]? Pacman didn't update it when I tried to update my system earlier today

Maybe there is a new turret, or some walls have moved. Or perhaps someone has temporarily removed the floor under your bed."

Do you know how mirrors work? You usually need to be patient.
But there are always some mirrors that are badly outdated. If that's the case, try others.

Re: Latest Kernel Build!

Shouldn't there be nvidia drivers for the new kernel?

Not until 2.6.25.

Re: Latest Kernel Build!

Ah yes, completely forgot about:
# kernel26>=2.6.24-2
# kernel26<=2.6.25-0

I saw it before in a testing kernel, you reminded me of that.

Thanks skottish
