Hi, I appreciate the information is there a step by step for how to use the prebuilt kernel?
Here is what I tried with no success on Elementary OS 8 (it’s ubuntu based but maybe this could be a cause?):
I downloaded the stoney-kernel artifcat from the repo
Extracted the files and then preformed the following in the terminal:
sudo mv vmlinuz-6.13.7-chrultrabook-stoney /boot
sudo mv 6.13.7-chrultrabook-stoney/ /usr/lib/modules
sudo kernel-install add 6.13.7-chrultrabook-stoney /boot/vmlinuz-6.13.7-chrultrabook-stoney
/boot/initrd.img-6.13.7-chrultrabook-stoney does not exist, not installing an initrd
sudo update-initramfs -c -k 6.13.7-chrultrabook-stoney
sudo kernel-install add 6.13.7-chrultrabook-stoney /boot/vmlinuz-6.13.7-chrultrabook-stoney
sudo update-grub
I used this post to guide me as I did not know how to use the prebuilt kernels.
I then used guides to get the grub menu to come up so I could select the kernel but that wasn’t working for me so I changed the grub default boot by changing the grub file in /etc/default to the following:
GRUB_DEFAULT='elementary OS 8, with Linux 6.13.7-chultrabook-stoney'
I grabbed the menu item ‘elementary OS 8, with Linux 6.13.7-chultrabook-stoney’ from the grub.cfg item in /boot/grub.
and then running
sudo update-grub
Again and rebooted.
Upon reboot I confirmed it was booting into the kernel using
uname -mrs
I got the following output
Linux 6.13.7-chrultrabook-stoney x86_64
From my understanding it seems to be using the prebuilt kernel
However I have no audio on my chromebook so I am not sure if I am doing the steps wrong, any advice is appreciated.
