So you have three options to get the newest protection against spectre/meltdown
1.Try the 4.15.0-1-amd64-mx kernel without the boot parameter,just for to make it sure.(But I think it will crash during idle)
2. Stay with the antix-kernels and download the newest 4.15.5-antix.1-amd64-smp with synaptic.It's not in the Package-Installer(only 4.15.3,I don't know why) and use the bootparameter.
3.Try the liqourix-kernel -4.15.0-6.1-liquorix-amd64, whis is in the Package-Installer, with the boot-parameter. It also has the flag set to yes.Code: Select all
$ sudo cat /boot/config-4.15.5-antix.1-amd64-smp | grep CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y
Code: Select all
$ sudo cat /boot/config-4.15.0-6.1-liquorix-amd64 | grep CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y
OK... Read start to finish (viewtopic.php?f=104&t=43958&start=110) I must be getting old, and stupid.
