  Updated to the latest kernel firmware.
patches/packages/linux-5.15.145/*:  Upgraded.
  These updates fix various bugs and security issues.
  Thanks to jwoithe for the PCI fix!
  Be sure to upgrade your initrd after upgrading the kernel packages.
  If you use lilo to boot your machine, be sure lilo.conf points to the correct
  kernel and initrd and run lilo as root to update the bootloader.
  If you use elilo to boot your machine, you should run eliloconfig to copy the
  kernel and initrd to the EFI System Partition.

# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

kernel-generic:
kernel-generic: This is a Linux kernel with built-in support for most disk
kernel-generic: controllers. To use filesystems, or to load support for a SCSI or
kernel-generic: other controller, then you'll need to load one or more kernel
kernel-generic: modules using an initial ramdisk, or initrd. For more information
kernel-generic: about creating an initrd, see the README.initrd file in the /boot
kernel-generic: directory.

kernel-generic: SMP is "Symmetric multiprocessing", or multiple CPU/core support.
