Slackware streamlines 32-bit kernels |
 |
The Slackware project is making some adjustments to its lineup of kernel offerings. The famously conservtive distribution is streamlining its available kernels for 32-bit CPUs in the Testing branch, though the changelog points out even Pentium M processors (which are 20 years old at the time of writing) can still be used to run Slackware. "We have fresh 6.6 kernels in /testing! You may notice that on the 32-bit side we have done away with the -smp labeled kernel packages, but it's actually the other kernels that were retired -- the non-SMP, non-PAE ones. If you were previously using kernel-generic-smp or kernel-huge-smp, you'll need to make some adjustments to your boot loader setup to load kernel-generic or kernel-huge instead. About the only non-obsolete CPUs that may have an issue with this are the first generation Pentium M chips, which supported PAE but unfortunately did not advertise this in the CPU flags. But these will support PAE if the kernel option "forcepae" is appended at boot time." |
