3.17.4 Linux kernel

December 07, 2014 — BarryK
I have compiled the 3.17.4 Linux kernel, in the upcoming Quirky April.

The PETs are here:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/quirky6/x86/packages/pet_packages-april/

...as Quirky does not use aufs/unionfs layered filesystem, all packages, including the kernel source, are PETs.

Here is the kernel source, with patches and build scripts:
http://bkhome.org/sources/kernel-3.17.4/
(us#er#na#me: pu#pp#y pa#ss#wo#rd: li#nu#x)

The kernel has been compiled without PAE support, so limited to 4GB RAM, i686 CPU, and has the aufs, f2fs, squashfs drivers built-in (not as modules). Also zram support, again built-in.
There is no support for booting from UEFI systems, such a PC would have to be configured for "legacy bootup".
