I installed Squeeze, it had kernel 2.6.30-2-686,
it was upgraded to 2.6.32-trunk-686,
now it is 2.6.32-3-686.
What does the -trunk- mean?

Debian 2.6.32-5 kernel.org stable: 2.6.32.5 2010-01-22
Which to say the least is very unusual for Debian.
Re: What does -trunk- mean in the kernel name?
Thanks for the links, I did search before posting but I didn't find that post and the links they include. I still don't know what trunk means.
I presume that my current kernel, 2.6.32-3-686 is newer than the older 2.6.32-trunk-686, although GRUB2 is displaying the -trunk- in first place, which shows the slight inconsistency of using alphanumeric characters instead of numbers only.

obviously the trunk is obsolete:

google result is:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&clie ... =&gs_rfai=
and the click gives:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/linu ... -trunk-686
apt-cache search doesn't show it anymore neither.
i am quite sure that after the link from above someone explained that the trunk version is without the debian-patches but straight from kernel-org. i didn't understand completely and had no big interest in it. if its obsolete anyway i hope this vague (and perhaps wrong) info might be sufficient for you.
imo: what a mess.

Yes, that had me going round in circles for a while. I ended up uninstalling the -trunk- kernel, rather than changing the default boot option.dotlj wrote:I presume that my current kernel, 2.6.32-3-686 is newer than the older 2.6.32-trunk-686, although GRUB2 is displaying the -trunk- in first place, which shows the slight inconsistency of using alphanumeric characters instead of numbers only.
nadir: yes, what a mess indeed.
