huge-kernels for woof-ce puppies
Post links here to any huge-kernels that you've made and uploaded that are suitable for use in woof-ce system builds and/or the change-kernels utility.
Post both the kernel .bz2 and the kernel-sources.sfs....
These are in addition to the excellent work by stemsee in producing kernels at: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=96723
Other collections of huge kernels can be found at:

What is the zdrv used for, then?
Besides, does it really matter in which ?drv the firmware is?
All these ?drv's get loaded at start-up anyway,

The drv name determines the order in which the .sfs are loaded and therefore what is "visible" at the end of the loading process.
Firmware should go into the fdrv....

Anybody else noticed that Kernel 4.4 series now has an EOL of Feb, 2022....that's a long time....

I have been trying to change kernels in xenialpup64 without success (lenovo x230 no hotkey controls - 4.4.35 in fatdog64_710 work fine)

The Linux Kernel Organization have in the last couple of weeks extended all the LTS kernels E.O.L. time frames to be a minimum 6 years. So 4.14.x, which has been designated the next LTS kernel will be maintained until probably early 2024 at least.peebee wrote:Anybody else noticed that Kernel 4.4 series now has an EOL of Feb, 2022....that's a long time....

Hi peebee, Just a question on how to determine if the kernels in your lxpup Huge Kernel archive are 64 bit or 32 bit. You have stated that 64 bit kernels are usable in 32 bit puppies, but they don't appear to be identified as 32 or 64 bit kernels. In particular, is the 4.9.56 kernel 64 bit.
Thanks in advance.
Terry
Thanks in advance.

Wow! Have added to 1st post....

OscarTalks. He's using that kernel for his DPupStretch-7, on purpose, IIRC.
(He explains it briefly on the DPupStretch thread. I'll be back with the URL
when I have a minute.)

Ahh - good spot - no 64 bit there at the moment - all 32 bit...Terry H wrote:Hi peebee, Just a question on how to determine if the kernels in your lxpup Huge Kernel archive are 64 bit or 32 bit.

I switched mine to huge-3.14.54-tahr_64.tar.bz2 right off the bat from here:ally wrote:I have been trying to change kernels in xenialpup64 without success (lenovo x230 no hotkey controls - 4.4.35 in fatdog64_710 work fine)

I didn't create a savefile yet so all I had to do was rename the vmlinuz-3.14.54 to vmlinuz and kernel-modules-3.14.54 to zdrv_xenial_7.0.8.4.sfs to replace over the old ones, then reboot, and it said 3.14.54 and my wifi worked again.
I think if you already created a savefile it's better to type change_kernels in the terminal and use that way to switch kernels, or maybe using that way is the same now.

Hi Sailor,
Can I ask why? Do you find the 3.14.54 (54 or did you mean 56?) runs better on your stuff (is it older, like mine, say 7-10 years). I've got two 'frugal' 64-bit Xenials running, one from Battleshooter (with his XFCE), and one built from woof-CE several weeks ago, Sometimes, stuff is really responding slow in Xenials (and other pups) that I have the newer kernels, I noticed especially when things went up to the 4.9.# area, my 'frugal' installs on different computers in the house weren't responding as fast as, say, compared to my 'frugal-install' of Phils old 64-bit Tahr64-6.05., which still runs stuff noticeably quicker.
I am really intrigued that, from what Peebee said today, the 4.4.# series is going to be supported for like 4 or 5 more years.
I wonder if that would provide a good middle ground for someone in my situation? Thing is, I know or think the newer kernels give us access to so much more when installing stuff and compiling (maybe that's a wrong assumption, I don't know), so I wouldn't want to----as they say---cut my hands off to spite my face.
The source comes from kernel.org....ally wrote:confused, what's the difference between a kernel from kernel.org and a huge-kernel?
Kernel-kit in woof-ce compiles that source according to a config, adding aufs and ensuring that vmlinuz has the drivers necessary to boot and packages it as a zdrv .sfs
