New Linux kernels released to hardy-updates

A new kernel, 2.6.24-17, has been released for Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) in the hardy-updates repository. This kernel may fix at least 1 xen bug (bug 218126, bug 204010) which I’m anxious to test. I’ve held off upgrading any Xen user domains until these were resolved. I think it would be a good time to at least test an upgrade, and since virtualization makes it easy to rollback I think a test is in order. I also noticed that Ubuntu 7.10 got some new kernel modules in the gutsy-updates repository. Not sure what the changes are but it’s something to be aware of.
