Devel Kernel Announcements
We uploaded a newer v4.9 based Zesty kernel to the archive. It's based on the 4.9.2 upstream stable kernel to be exact.
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/4.9.0-12.13
Please test and let us know your results. We also have a preliminary rebase to v4.10 (4.10-rc4 to be exact) available in our unstable repo:
https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/unstable
We'll eventually converge on a v4.10 based kernel for Zesty.
