hmmm, tried liquorix kernel  but fails to boot

I think I got the wrong repo.

But following the way to install at liquorix.net fails, I, m not able to install the keyring

Edit : Did get the keyring and installed kernel again but same, fails to boot with the liquorix kernel.

probably I give up this shit, Iḿ fed up with it. Maybe install something else with 32 bit support.

Thanks for trying to help piper

Well, it's debian, isn't it?

Code: [Select]

apt install linux-image-686 linux-headers-686

What do you want to say with the quote melmarker, I don't get?

This works and I asume that it is the oroginal debian kernel. This will work for a while on this computer I hope
Thank you der_bud

I've got that stock debian kernel running on an older PC where I had problems with liquorix kernel as well. Was several month ago, so I can't remember what problems that were, but I am very satisfied with pure debian kernel now.
For 'keeping an older system alive for a while' I am still thinking about switching to pure debian stable on that machine (+backports of course), but for the time being it runs on siduction, only without towos kernel.

When people request a 32 bit build on IRC or here on the forums, we build it for them and this kernel is included with the 32 bit builds.

@vilde - if the keyring is not installed for liquorix - get the keyring an install it. The techpatterns link point to the keyring package.

but the debian kernel should work fine too

@melmarker, sorry I misunderstood, I red your "signature quote" of B Franklin as a message text, therefore I asked what you wanted to say.

I will mark this as solved now, my friends computer will now run with the Debian kernel.
