I'm not sure my idea is clear (I'M french so my english is really accurate), but the thing is that it would be great to be able to choose a kernel already optimized for your laptop.

Most of the stuff's just loaded from modules, so it doesn't make a difference what hardware you got.]]> Thu, 10 Apr 2008 17:36:11 +0000
You shouldn't need a specific kernel for one kind of computer, but a kernel that can perform optimally for any. I think this functionality is already part of the generic kernel.

I believe that all the ones which are unique to laptops are modules; if this is the case, the on-boot detection will handle it just fine.]]> Mon, 28 Jul 2008 13:14:13 +0000
