It works successfully for me.


from https://www.kernel.org/category/signatures.html::


If you get "BAD signature"

If at any time you see "BAD signature" output from "gpg2 --verify", please first check the following first:

    Make sure that you are verifying the signature against the .tar version of the archive, not the compressed (.tar.xz) version.
    Make sure the the downloaded file is correct and not truncated or otherwise corrupted.

If you repeatedly get the same "BAD signature" output, please email helpdesk@xxxxxxxxxx, so we can investigate the problem.
