i'm happy to try that - brief instructions?
first download the 000-kernel.xzm and vmlinuz from one of our mirrors
http://porteus.org/porteus-mirrors
eg.
http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/port ... us-4.16.8/
then, as root:
replace 000-kernel.xzm in sda9/porteus/base/
and
replace vmlinuz in sda9/boot/syslinux/
although if the 4.16.8 build has the same config as fanthom mentions it might not work either..
if it doesn't, one of the older kernels(in the /kernels dir on the server) might get you running for now, just make sure to use the matching vmlinuz..
Using those files I instead got the message:
Code: Select all
This kernel reqiures an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i586 CPU.
Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU.

Yes, Porteus Kiosk 3.7.0 seems to boot OK, although quickly thows up the following message:
Code: Select all
Starting Porteus Kiosk <http://porteus-kiosk.org<
^device not ready yet? delaying 15 seconds.

That example, eg., was for x86-64 files, try files from this mirror example instead:

"Yes, Porteus Kiosk 3.7.0 seems to boot OK, although quickly thows up the following message:"
Perhaps you have used Rufus and not Win32DiskImager for burning installation ISO on usb stick?
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.
