Seems ok here. Just did a 5.14.0 to 5.14.2 bump on the LxPupSc64 21.04 +3 install on the i5 based Fujitsu S761. The touchpad (detected as synaptics) continues to work correctly on this HW/OS. Quick check of browsers, Sylpheed ok, not much else tested as yet. Most relevant stuff below:

@peebee I tested the kernel still my touchpad doesn't work. synaptics_i2c kernel module does not load. It seems there is more HID and I2C kernel modules related to synaptics_i2c might be missing from compiling take a look on this list of loaded kernel modules from my laptop between Ubuntu kernel and LxPup kernel. My current laptop is Acer Aspire ES1-433

P.S: Please include basic ACPI kernel modules on the kernel. Your kernel unable to shutdown and reboot from initrd shell or when zdrv module is not loaded

Update: I tried your kernel on Lenovo S130 the touchpad not working.

@peebee - where can I download the latest 32-bit kernel (only the kernel)?

@peebee - where can I download the latest 32-bit kernel (only the kernel)?

There isn't a 32-bit version of 5.14 that I know about........ I only build 64-bit kernels

You can get a 32-bit version of latest 5.10 LTS from:

I have a suggestion, could you please include exfat drivers as builtin to the kernel? Also when linux kernel 5.15 was released, please include the new NTFS3 driver as builtin to the kernel too. Thanks.
