kernel upgrade

[maspai]

i have porteus 1.2 with kernel 3.4.4. is it possible to upgrade the kernel, like 3.7.1 used by porteus 2.0? or use the kernel module for 2.0 in my 1.2? i think, latest kernel comes with better hardware support, am i right?
thanks for reply.

hello maspai,

that should be possible.
please take /boot/syslinux/vmlinuz and /porteus/base/000-kernel.xzm from 2.0 and replace original ones from 1.2 (make a backup first).
mind that vmlinuz is placed in /boot folder in 1.2 (and not /boot/syslinux)
let me know if that works.

Hi,

Tested it is working.

Pull the initrd.xz and porteus-v2.0-x86_64.sgn file as well.

Update md5sum.txt

I have also pull the firefox.xzm. You will need to activate libstdc++.so.6.
