Slackware testing 6.x kernel versions |
|
New kernel versions are being tested on Slackware Linux and the testing has revealed some problems with the latest Linux kernels, particularly on 32-bit machines: " I've been trying to shape this up for weeks, but there are still issues, and maybe someone out there can help. The biggest problem is that the 32-bit kernels crash on boot. Initially there's some sort of Intel ME failure (this is on a Thinkpad X1E). If those modules are blacklisted, then the kernel will go on to crash loading the snd_hda_intel module. The other issue is that I've got a 4K panel in this machine, and have always appended the kernel option video=1920x1080@60 to put the console in HD instead, and then loaded a Terminus console font to make the text even larger. With these kernels, that option is completely ignored. I've tried some other syntax I've seen online to no avail. And when the Terminus font is loaded the text gets even smaller for some reason." People who have workarounds for these issues are encouraged to report solutions to the Slackware team. |
