Hi, are there any negative impacts of upgrading the default kernel provided on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (apart from loosing support).
One example for me is NOT being able to install ZFS as the compiler would still be looking for 4.15 references after upgrade (removing the original kernel and updating initramfs would not help).
It seems an ecosystem of components are tight to a specific or ‘supported’ version.
As a side question, would applying the ACS patch bring any instabilities to the system? Thanks
My question is related to how to apply the ACS script (from the command line) to an existing kernel.
Per-compiled kernels I’ve downloaded from this web site are working great… but my point is to know how to compile it myself
Any thoughts on the first question: have you ever experienced any regressions updating the default/supported kernel with a ‘stable’ but more up-to-date one?
I’ve found that the updated kernels from UKUU have broken KVM functionality for AMD processors. They fail to initialise the AMD cryptographic coprocessor, and don’t load the kvm-amd kernel module. Pretty much the only reason I’m still on the stock kernel.
Hum… I really doubt this would be happening!!
You may have an unsupported hardware configuration that causes the issue.
All talks and videos from L1T showing AMD kernel upgrades with UKUU never actually reported what you’re describing here.
I am about to order a full AMD rig for KVM… and plan to upgrade kernel, apply ACS patch, update MESA drivers, etc. I hope things won’t go that bad!
I too would be interested in a custom kernel script that would do zfs + acs. As of right now I just have some notes for myself that I copy/paste every time I install a new kernel. Kind of a PITA. A script would be nice! (using ubuntu 18.04)
note that manjaro changes a lot of upstream defaults and is generally not considered arch-compatible. I’d recommend any other arch derivative over it for this reason.
I don’t have a preference, but the community consensus is that rolling release community distributions are better.
