"New" machine being stubborn about Liquorix
Well, I got this monster machine all set up, and the OS installed. I attempted to install the Liquorix kernel, and got an ugly green screen at boot. Tried it again - and again - and it just doesn't work for me. I've upgraded my Nvidia driver as far as I can from the Debian/Siduction repositories. I also tried the newest Nvidia drivers directly from Nvidia.
I've tried the current Liquorix kernel, 4.1, as well as the previous, 4.0. Finally, I says to myself, "Hey, Stupid, maybe Liquorix is incompatible with SERVER BOARDS?!?!?!" So, I'm thinking. ECC memory? Some setting in the Bios? I know that Liquorix is optimised for desktop/workstation usage - maybe I'm trying to force something on the hardware that it's not capable of? I'll welcome suggestions/observations/ideas here. This is the result of inxi -F: :: Code ::

Never mind!
I have discovered the Siduction repositories.
inxi CPU(s)~2 Hexa core Six-Core AMD Opteron 2425 HEs (-HT-MCP-SMP-) clocked at Min:800.000Mhz Max:2100.000Mhz Kernel~4.1.2-towo.2-siduction-amd64 x86_64 Up~14 min Mem~425.4/22164.9MB HDD~800.2GB(44.3% used) Procs~258 Client~Shell inxi~2.1.28 That towo or siduction kernel loads just fine, and uses the same driver that works with the stock kernel. I am happy enough - no point in beating my head against the wall! Back to top |

Ya, Liquorix is a kernel tuned for desktop / laptop usage. You can try using it on server hardware but it's not tested there, unfortunately.
But, I'm happy you found out about towo's kernel on siduction. His kernel configuration is tuned more for stock usage (besides full preemption), and last time I checked, had BFQ patches merged. A great alternative if Liquorix doesn't work out for you. Back to top |
