from what i read on the kernel.org mailing list i believe there is something missing in this Kernel that will be fixed in the .40 kernel . i'll see if i can fetch that a lil later

Sorry for the 'simple' question, but I would like to know which would be the latest/newer kernel: 2.6.39-1 or 2.6.39-rc7 The first one not being an rc and it came through via updates the other day. Some one please educate me :)

Yeah, that's strange!

For a while, all they had was amd64.

Anyway, that should be the last rc. Hopefully the final will include them both.
