If I wanted to change the kernel in BookwormPup64.
What kernels, listed in the Additional Software ->Kernels, would work or should work?
viewforum.php?f=65
Do they need to be ones identified as having overlayfs?
Anything else needed about the kernel?
For Bookwormpup64, kernels must be USRMERGE & capable of OVERLAYFS. If kernel is both aufs/overlayfs capable, will need to specify punionfs=overlay in linux line of grub .cfg. I list these things when I post a kernel. ALSO, kbuild .sfs must be disabled before boot (I add .no to end), and original kernel's compiling feature will be unavailable (need to use devx & new kernel's sources/headers). And finally, if there is a ....initmodules.txt file from a previous boot, must be deleted before booting new kernel. My kernels that are usrmerge & aufs/overlayfs have aoum in filename. I recommend keeping original fdrv.
