Do they put kernel patches in PPAs?


No, but you can make a deb of a patched kernel and compile that for PPA distribution.

It wouldn't be very difficult to make, I would expect to see one in the next 24 hours or so.

Be wary of getting your kernel from a PPA though - consider it experimental.


Thanks, I've only used PPAs for apps and such, didn't realize people put kernels up too. Though like you say, probably would only use that for a virtual machine instance, will wait till the next kernel patch for my base workstation.
