Hello, i was wondering which kernel does come with openmandriva 6.0 rock
i installed omv some months ago on a secondary ssd and i recall it was bundled with the 6.15 rc2 kernel
now i reinstalled back openmandriva on my main ssd and i have the 6.14 kernel, so i have a little confusion about that
has the kernel being downgraded in the meantime or it’s just me on the wrong repos? (release, actually)
thank you
That was an error we corrected. We don’t ship rc kernels with Rock as a normal practice.
ok, thank you for your answer
will the kernel ever be updated in rock?
reason i ask is that 6.14 has a very tedious bug with some amd graphic cards (mine included) that has been solved in 6.15, and that kernel was working perfectly…
Not until the next release. We are discussing if it makes sense to issue a point release. It may include an updated version.
Verify that an update has not resolved this already, please.
We don’t ship rc kernels with Rock. 
kernel-desktop 6.14.2-3
Here is the kernel build_lists.
It’s also an option to install a newer kernel to Rock. I did it some time ago. YMMV
kernel 6.15 rc that was bundled by mistake did not have this tedious bug
fedora with kernel 6.14 had the same exact bug and upgrading to 6.15 solved the issue completely
pratically seems like 6.14 can’t clear properly the gpu memory for some amd cards, and mine is affected, so whenever i want to play something i need to reboot the pc to free up the memory
in kernel 6.15 they haven’t found the solution yet, so they reverted that change as it was on 6.13 and everything is working
technically anyway i could wait and reboot when needed but i suppose i can also try to install a newer kernel
EDIT: i noticed there are kernels 6.15 and 6.16 in cooker, suggestions on how to install those?i mean, should i just need to download the rpmk?will it install on rock then, without borking everything?
Edit: I am using a newer kernel-desktop version on my Rock partition. I think it is a 6.15.x. But yes this should not present any problems that I am aware of.
Manually download the kernel-desktop .rpm for your arch. Open terminal (Konsole) and navigate to the directory where you downloaded the .rpm.
Then for example:
sudo dnf in kernel-desktop-6.16.5-1-omv2590.x86_64.rpm
Repeat the process for kernel-headers or kernel-desktop-devel if you use those. rpm -qa | grep kernel will tell what you have installed. Most ROME/
Rock users will only have kernel-desktop.
As far as which one I would start with the 6.16.5 if it does not work try the newest 6.15.x and so forth. Another thing is the possibility that the latest kernel-rc-desktop would work better for you. The most recent is 6.17.0-0.rc7.1. I am using that one myself in Cooker.
Note: By default OMLx allows for the installation of 3 main kernel versions, if you install a 4th kernel the oldest kernel is automatically removed.
Hope this helps and resolves your issue.
hello and thank you, i tried this morning with 6.16 but despite working (system boots up fine) network connection does not work anymore
maybe i am missing some other files that needs to be installed along?
i reinstalled anyway 6.14 and everything is fine now…
Edit: Normally kernel installs do not have any dependencies so not that is not the problem. If a kernel or any other software did have dependencies those would be installed automagically by dnf.
Try kernel 6.15 or kernel-rc 6.17.0-0.rc7.1.
I suspect either might solve the internet issue. There was some change that caused 6.16 to screw up internet for a few users.
Another alternative is just do as you have and use 6.14 nothing wrong with that at all.
The wrong thing is that 6.14 is bugged and does not correctly release gpu memory for some amd gpu cards, and mine is one of them. It’s very tedious having to reboot every time i want to play something just to free up the gpu memory
I now installed the 6.15 kernel and seems like problem is solved, everything works fine, so i do assume 6.16 is bugged too
Anyway thank you for your time, i suppose i can mark your answer as the solution to the problem
