This comment in the email:<br><br><div><div>"ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have<br>
been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and<br>
reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed.<br>
Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages<br>
(e.g. linux-generic, linux-generic-lts-RELEASE, linux-virtual,<br>
linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform<br>
this as well."<br><br></div><div>Anyone updated to this fix yet?<br></div><div>Any noticeable negative impact on performance?<br><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature">Khalid M.
