I made a 64bit USRMERGE 6.1.23 Kernel. Is for usrmerge (newer Ubuntu/Debian derivative?) Puppies ONLY.
DO NOT TRY THIS WITH SLACKWARE DERIVATIVES OR OLDER UBUNTU DERIVATIVES (IS NOT FOR F96CE OR EARLIER).
Used 2018-Kit, & edited output (linking /lib /sbin from /usr), hence somewhat experimental.

Tested OK on jrb's Jammypup D3, which has fdrv (firmware) & ucode (spectre/meltdown mitigation) already.
Is aufs/overlayfs capable (defaults to aufs) - kernel-line parameter punionfs allows selection - BUT
savefiles/savefolders for aufs & overlayfs are NOT usable by the other & must be disabled before switching.
Has Voluntary Preemption set. Has rtw88 & b43 drivers builtin (need My UM fdrv's firmware).
Needs ucode (if not using jrb's Jammypup - see: viewtopic.php?p=9658#p9658).

I did this to have kernel sources & headers for the current LTS kernel, so as to compile drivers
for usrmerge Puppies. Use at own risk.

Once downloaded, expand in an empty folder with tar -jxvf, & rename kernel-modules.sfs-6.1.23-64oz-ao-um to zdrv ...
(same as one to be replaced) & rename vmlinuz-6.1.23-64oz-ao-um to vmlinuz & then substitute for originals.
Must rename any different fdrv used to fdrv ... (same as one to be replaced).

(Loaded & tested OK - use at own risk).

Tested OOTB on jrb's Jammypup64 E1. punionfs=overlay passed as kernel parameter as usual, Fujitsu S761 hardware, 2nd gen i5 all intel laptop circa 2012. Ath9k wifi card so no fdrv required. Clean boot and dmesg, excellent idle resource use, very good idle resource use. No issues at all seen in the initial test.

Thanks,
