MX Linux Forum

Debian Bullseye has the 6.1 32-bit n 64-bit kernel via Backports repository.

Does MXLinux also have their own 6.1 kernel ready which can be used? Do they have a backports repository?

Since mx uses 1000hz I am interested in MX compiled 6.1 kernel

Yes. In AHS repo (for MX-21 only):

linux-image-6.1.0-5mx-686-pae-unsigned_6.1.12-1~mx21ahs_i386
linux-image-6.1.0-5mx-686-unsigned_6.1.12-1~mx21ahs_i386

linux-image-6.1.0-5mx-amd64-unsigned_6.1.12-1~mx21ahs_amd64

What do you mean by this?

config_hz=1000

$ uname -r
4.9.0-326-antix.1-686-smp-pae
huck@Huckleberry:~
$ cat /boot/config-`uname -r` | grep HZ
CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON=y
# CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC is not set
CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE=y
# CONFIG_NO_HZ is not set
# CONFIG_HZ_100 is not set
# CONFIG_HZ_250 is not set
# CONFIG_HZ_300 is not set
CONFIG_HZ_1000=y
CONFIG_HZ=1000
CONFIG_MACHZ_WDT=m

$ cat /boot/config-`uname -r` | grep HIGH_RES_TIMERS
CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y

:)

Maybe more important:

kernel timer interrupt frequency is approx. 3999 Hz

$ uname -r
6.1.0-2mx-amd64

$ cat /boot/config-`uname -r` | grep HZ
CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON=y
# CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC is not set
# CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE is not set
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y
# CONFIG_NO_HZ is not set
# CONFIG_HZ_100 is not set
# CONFIG_HZ_250 is not set
# CONFIG_HZ_300 is not set
CONFIG_HZ_1000=y
CONFIG_HZ=1000
CONFIG_MACHZ_WDT=m

$ cat /boot/config-`uname -r` | grep HIGH_RES_TIMERS
CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y

kernel timer interrupt frequency is approx. 4016 Hz or higher

The current kernel in the MX Package Installer under Popular Applications is 6.1.0-4mx-amd64

Yes I should have been more specific in answer.

No, no, mine were just to share info, in general, for everyone.. (not for your post was insufficient etc..) :)

Alright. Why would one want to set the interrupt timer? I'm assuming this is for real-time kernels?
