The first version of Linux kernel of the new 4.17 line – 4.17.0 just landed in Sparky “unstable” repository.
Status:
– amd64 – build and installation OK – uploaded
– 686-pae – build and installation OK, but freeze all my graphical desktops down – uploaded anyway so you can test it too
– 686 (non-pae) – build failed
The Sparky’s Linux kernel is available in Sparky “unstable” repository, so enabled it to upgrade (if you have older version already installed) or to make fresh installation:
https://wiki.sparkylinux.org/doku.php/repository
Follow the Wiki page: https://wiki.sparkylinux.org/doku.php/linux_kernel to install the latest Sparky’s Linux kernel.
Then reboot your machine to take effects.
To quick remove older version of the Linux kernel, simply run APTus-> Remove-> Uninstall Old Kernel tool.
I’m having a problem with 4.17 kernels, not just Sparky, also the kernel from siduction (towo), the kernel from the experimental Debian branch … applied the patch …
patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10299735/
so far so good 🙂
