Kernel 3.7 available

[dibl]

OK the 310-19 Nvidia driver fixed the Asus system -- audio, video, and networking all look fine now.

But I noticed the message that the 310-19 driver is not recommended for the old Quadro GPUs, such as the one in the Dell.  So I guess the kernel panic is not related to the video system at all.

I fixed the Dell E6500 kernel panic issue, by removing the kernel and reinstalling it.  It must have been a failure of some kind during the first installation.

However, neither Nvidia driver would install on 3.7.  Actually, 310-19 would install but would not drive the Quadro correctly, so I had to nuke the Nvidia drivers and install the nouveau driver.  It looks fine, so no complaints.

Dibl, in our fixes-repo i have put a fixed 304.62 driver, which is compatible with kernel 3.7.

Thank you towo.

I used your new Nvidia driver package to set up with 3.7 on this old laptop:

Video, audio, and networking all looks good.

I´m not sure f this have to do with the kernel but after d-u on my media-box among others upgrading the kernel from 3.6.9 to 3.7.1 something hapen to my hdmi out sound, I had to reconfigure my .asoundrc to make it work again. I wrote about it here: http://forum.siduction.org/index.php?msg=26490#26490
