We've already posted about it, but it stopped working quite a few months ago because of some changes on the Kernel.org website. Back then, there was a patch you could apply but probably many people didn't understand exactly how to patch it, so here it is, a patched version of KernelCkeck in a .deb file!
Download patched (fixed) KernelCheck_1.2.5-3_all.deb (thanks to J Queiroz for creating the .deb file).
