Just swapped this kernel, into Bionicpup64 7.9.6. All running smoothly. Nice. Thanks.
Edit: Just thought I'd give it a try in lxpupsc64 18.06 +10. No problems identified. I ran dmesg, which gave basically same details as bionicpup64.

@TerryH - I don't advise use in LxpupSc. It - like Slacko, uses /usr/lib64 whereas this 4.14.79 u kernel uses /usr/lib for main libs - as Ubuntu derivs do. Could cause unforeseen issues. I made 4.14.69 s earlier for Slacko/LxpupSc.
New link for 4.14.79 u640oz kernel: https://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linux_Huge-Kernels/huge-4.14.79-u64oz.tar.bz2

Would you please explain how I can make the change? What about the firmware? I don't understand that at all.
What will be different in how the puppy works, after the changes?
Thanks again,
Sheldon

4.14 is the latest long-term kernel series. Unlike the stock kernel, /usr/lib is used as per ubuntu derivative convention. There was also a serious network bug fix in 4.14.79. Not sure what other changes you may see. Firmware - get bionicpup64's firmware (in an fdrv below) & rename to fdrv_bionicpup64_7.9.6.sfs.
This fdrv can be used for most pups. Available (till 25th feb 19) here: http://ge.tt/4Pm7XAu2
When I download a huge kernel file, I place it in an empty folder, cd /(folder) , tar -jxvf huge-(whatever) , rename vmlinuz(whatever) to vmlinuz and rename kernel-modules(whatever) to (in your case) zdrv_bionicpup64_7.9.6.sfs . Then replace current vmlinuz & zdrv (add fdrv if needed) & reboot.

For those using ubuntu derivatives & having problems with newer kernels, here's a 6 month old one (4.14.39 issued 9 May 2018). Tested OK in xenialpup64 7.5, but use at own risk. https://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linux_Huge-Kernels/huge-4.14.39-u64oz.tar.bz2

As a result of the discussion on Hyperthreading, I've made a SLACKO64 compatible 4.14.55 kernel with CONFIG_SCHED_SMT=y set. Use at own risk.
https://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linux_Huge-Kernels/huge-4.14.55-s64s.tar.bz2
** EDIT - after 4 weeks use, I've found ~SMT=y simply made the cpu run slightly slower and hotter in Slacko64.

Kernel 64 for Ubuntu derivatives |
|
I've made a 4.14.49 kernel for UBUNTU 64bit derivatives (i.e. Xenialpup64 & Bionicpup64). TPM is disabled and PINCTRL_CHERRYVIEW is enabled. Use at own risk. Tested OK in Xenialpup64 & Bionicpup64. Bionic's firmware included. Name is huge-4.14.49-u64oz.tar.bz2
Method: When I download a huge kernel file, I place it in an empty folder, cd /(folder) , tar -jxvf huge-(whatever) , rename vmlinuz(whatever) to vmlinuz and rename kernel-modules(whatever) to (for example) zdrv_bionicpup64_8.0.sfs . Then replace current vmlinuz & zdrv & reboot.
See: (updated - only stays 15 days on filepup url)

Filepup link says Access Denied for me....
Got it from:
https://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linux_Huge-Kernels/huge-4.14.49-u64oz.tar.bz2
not confined to 64-bit pups - also works on 32-bit pups

Ozsouth, can't do it. I can't find a way in to a UEFI Chromebook, except with the stock kernel UEFI BionicPUP ISO. Details in the BionicPup thread.

WITHDRAWN - buggy.
I've made a 4.14.52 kernel for SLACKWARE 64bit derivatives.

I've made a 4.14.51 kernel for SLACKWARE 64bit derivatives (i.e. Slacko64 & LxPup64). TPM is disabled and PINCTRL_CHERRYVIEW is enabled. Use at own risk. Tested OK in Slacko64 & LxPup64. NEEDS firmware, an fdrv .sfs file. Name is huge-4.14.51-s64oz.tar.bz2
Method: When I download a huge kernel file, I place it in an empty folder, cd /(folder) , tar -jxvf huge-(whatever) , rename vmlinuz(whatever) to vmlinuz and rename kernel-modules(whatever) to (for example) zdrv_slacko64_6.9.9.9.sfs . Then replace current vmlinuz & zdrv & add firmware file & reboot. See: https://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linux_Huge-Kernels/huge-4.14.51-s64oz.tar.bz2
