Summary: Linux kernel for laptop use with i686 and up to 4GB

Description:
The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of your
Mageia.Org Linux operating system. The kernel handles the basic functions
of the operating system: memory allocation, process allocation, device
input and output, etc. This kernel is compiled for laptop use, single or
multiple i686 processor(s)/core(s) and less than 4GB RAM (usually 3-3.5GB
detected, if you need/want to use all 4GB or more, install kernel-tmb-server),
using HZ_250 to save battery, voluntary preempt, BFS cpu scheduler,
cfq i/o scheduler and some other laptop-specific optimizations.
If you want to sacrifice battery life for performance, you better use the
kernel-tmb-desktop.
This kernel relies on in-kernel smp alternatives to switch between up & smp
mode depending on detected hardware. To force the kernel to boot in single
processor mode, use the "nosmp" boot parameter.
NOTE! This kernel also uses TuxOnIce by default.
