1."but the boot fails with a blank screen."
Maybe, I guss that 000-kernel.xzm needs to be updated.
000-kernel.xzm will be updated on "step 2 How to adapt the new patch to Porteus ISO".

2."And which is more than I can do"
Would you tell me which you done update or not ?

3. The menu image you posted is actually labeled "APorteus Kernel Builder".
Thank you for your point out.
I will correct tne naming at the next update.

Thanks.

2."And which is more than I can do"
Would you tell me which you done update or not ?

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking. I have not updated the kernel, I don't use the 05-devel module thus I can't compile source. What I did change was my grub2 menu from:

Code: Select all

     linux (loop)/boot/syslinux/vmlinuz from=$iso $porteus_parms

to

Code: Select all

     linux  /Users/Ed/vmlinuz from=$iso $porteus_parms

The vmlinuz file being the one I downloaded from your link.

@Ed_P
From your grub2 config, I understood what you done.

Step 2 of the article http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php? ... 568#p52474
doesn't need 05-devel module.

You can update your ISO without kernel compile.

Thanks.

I'm sorry but I'm confused.

2. How to adapt the new patch to Porteus ISO.
(1) Prepare "Porteus Kernel Builder" and v4.9.5-2.tar.xz.
Please refer to http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php? ... 568#p52232.

[How to use]
step 1. prepare compile environment.
get 05-devel.xzm for your architecture from Porteus release site.
activate "05-devel.xzm".
This prepare is needed for the following actions only.
1)getting AUF patch
2)adapting AUF patch
3)building kernel

I appreciate your help neko but I think kernel building is a bit beyond me. I'll just wait for the brokenman Porteus 3.2 update.

@Ed_P

I am sorry that I made you mislead with my poor English sentence.
If you have available time to read shell script,
please read ones that are included in mkKernel-17.01.20-noarch-1.xzm.
Maybe it makes you understand "Kernel Builder" exactly.

main script: /usr/local/sbin/guimkKernel
subroutines: /usr/local/share/mkKernel/inc/*.inc


Thanks.
