@neko, you're still doing this amazing job! Thank you, very much!

Do you mind if I make a suggestion? I was wondering if you could provide a fully working xzm module instead of providing a single package with both x86 and x64 kernels inside folders. I'm telling this because the average user probably doesn't know what to do after extracting your .tar.xz package. What you think?

[crippled_sources-4.20.1-32bit.xzm]

[crippled_sources-4.20.1-64bit.xzm]

=== reason ===
(1) Presented build kernel is only prototype.
If it mismatch with your environment,
it can be rebuild with the aufs.patch and modifying the config.

(2) firmwares were gathered (not build)
They are not complete.
If original gathered firmwares are included in original 001-kernel.xzm,
firmware of new 001-kernel.xzm should include the original gathered firmwares.
Firmware should be updated by NOT replacing but overwriting.

(3) build result is used not only for Porteus but alse for nemesis/APorteus.
(even if for AUSTRUMI)

(4) The place that v4.20.1.tar.xz was expanded can be used as "Kernel Builder directory" of "Porteus Kernel Builder".
Even if without internet conect, "Kernel Builder" can replace kernel of Porteus/nemesis/APorteus ISO.
This replacement fits with the condition (2).


Thanks.

I am obviously not fulalas, but Indeed uploading the files separated like above makes more sense.
Of course there might be users who want both the 32 and 64 bit Kernel and Stuff, but most would only want one architecture.
And the others can just download both files.

@neko, you're still doing this amazing job! Thank you, very much!

Indeed!

The kernel of Porteus-XFCE-v4.0-x86_64-18.12.25.iso was updated from 4.20 to 4.20.1.
[...]
The intrd of this ISO is integrated initrd.

What is an integrated initrd?

[neko]

@Rava
"What is an integrated initrd?"

It was integrated with
initrd for Porteus 4.0 that runs under AUFS,
initrd for Porteus 4.0 that runs under overlay-FS (trial version),
initrd for APorteus that runs under AUFS,
and
initrd for APorteus that runs under overlay-FS (trial version).

It uses the name of "ISO ID file" as "Kernel Version number" expresion.
For example:
Kernel of Porteus-CINNAMON-v4.0-x86_64-19.01.12.iso is 4.19.14.
Porteus-CINNAMON-v4.0-x86_64-19.01.12.iso@porteus/kernel-v4.19.14-1-x86_64.cfg

Kernel of OV.Porteus-CINNAMON-v4.0-x86_64-19.01.07.iso is 5.0-rc1.
OV.Porteus-CINNAMON-v4.0-x86_64-19.01.07.iso@porteus/kernel-v5.0-rc1-1-x86_64.cfg


More detail, you can read the shell script of initrd.


Thanks.

Thanks for the heads up.

More detail, you can read the shell script of initrd.

Where do I find it? Is it in your tar files, e.g. in 64bit-kernel4.20.2.tar?

Seems not, I just downloaded that and copied the xzm to /tmp to search these:

Q2 --> A2.
No, it is not in XXbit-kernelNNNNN.tar.

Q1 --> A1.
The initrd of the following ISO is an integrated initrd.

Porteus-CINNAMON-v4.0-x86_64-19.01.12.iso
refer to Re: Cinnamon 3.8.6 for Porteus 4 (x86_64) (Post by neko #68706)

refer to Re: Xfce x64 module updated (Post by neko #68634)

Or,
"Porteus Kernel Builder" (recent version: mkKernel-19.01.07-noarch-1.xzm) includes an integrated initrd.
mkKernel-19.01.07-noarch-1.xzm@/usr/local/share/mkKernel/lib/upkernel/syslinux/initrd.xz

refer to Porteus Kernel Builder (Post by neko #52232)


Note:
An integrated initrd is not needed for a normal Porteus.
Kernel of ISO with Original initrd and "ISO ID" can be updated.
Original "ISO ID" = porteus-v4.0-i586.cfg/porteus-v4.0-x86_64.cfg
