WARNING:-
OLD KERNELS & FDRVS, made with 2018-KIT, SHOULD NOT BE USED WITH USRMERGE PUPPIES
(mostly Debian/Ubuntu derivatives after 2022; slackware derivatives need non-usrmerge kernels)
STRUCTURAL CHANGES WILL LIKELY CAUSE CORRUPTION.
I made a 64bit 5.10.153 kernel using 2018-KIT. Has Overlayfs as well as Aufs builtin.
Although this will work on standard puppies as is, to use it with overlayfs, need (at least) a specifc initrd.gz.
Is in both Ubuntu and Slacko compatible flavours, via Puppy kernel-kit master branch (2018), with latest fixes.
Has no firmware - needs an fdrv - see below. Used gcc 9.3.0 & glibc-2.30. Has older ntfs-3g & Blake2s builtin.
Use at own risk.
Is mostly Spectre/Meltdown mitigated (needs microcode too - see viewtopic.php?p=9658#p9658).
Is TCP_SACK mitigated. Briefly tested (aufs & overlayfs), OK in ScPup64-20.06,
but savefile/folder only works with aufs. Note: voluntary preemption set (standard for prior kernels).
THIS KERNEL HAS SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK ENABLED. That causes my systems to crash (when using Aufs),
so users without realtek sound cards may need to append kernel/linux line in syslinux/grub config thus:
modprobe.blacklist=snd_hda_codec_realtek
(Realtek sound cards work without it enabled, but have more modules available with it).
wl , rtl8821ce & rtl8188fu/ftv wireless drivers loaded ok - are in forum Drivers section.
Once downloaded, expand in an empty folder with tar -jxvf, & rename kernel-modules.sfs-5.10.153-64oz-ao to zdrv ...
(same as one to be replaced) & rename vmlinuz-5.10.153-64oz-ao to vmlinuz & then substitute for originals.
Must rename any fdrv used to fdrv ... (same as one to be replaced).
Note for Overlayfs, either kernel derivative below works on any system.
