I'm reading up on initrd clear as mud. I'll keep reading ugh.

The easiest workaround is to avoid 6.9 kernels and higher. You may not even gain a benefit from using them over the stock kernel provided by MX, or from an older Liquorix kernel from an earlier branch.

[artytux]

Yeah I could (should) avoid those kernels just before you posted I was looking at the kernel 6.6 (that's LTS yeah?) not sure how well it will go with this Intel Gen 14, nothing ventured, just leave for now the 6.10 kernel remove 6.9 and install 6.6 ( is any in image a LTS ) if only to see if Gen 14 and kernel 6.6 are a good mix, if not ugh.

[dolphin_oracle]

Yeah so back to more manageable initramfs sizes (78 and 92 mb respectively).

[artytux]

Looked up best info I could find is *6.6.11-2-lts* we have *6.6.11-1* so is there a LTS kernel in MX Linux ?

[dolphin_oracle]

Looked up best info I could find is *6.6.11-2-lts* we have *6.6.11-1* so is there a LTS kernel in MX Linux ?

yeah, the 6.1.

yeah, the 6.1.

and which packages to get, there is a heap of them I don't see any LTS tag on any of the 6.1.

[DukeComposed]

I don't see any LTS tag on any of the 6.1.

You won't see LTS tags on default Debian kernels because Debian picks LTS kernels for their defaults.

@DukeComposed I'l get into this tomorrow and install to see if it's good to go , late here, Thank You heaps. @DukeComposed
