I have read in the article How to follow a different kernel version on Silverblue? that it is possible to install a different kernel. I would like to update it because the current version prevents me from using my graphics card, but now I’m not sure how to specify the kernel version because I can only find the following list in the search:
===== Name Matched =====
kernel-core : The Linux kernel
kernel-cross-headers : Header files for the Linux kernel for use by cross-glibc
kernel-debug : kernel meta-package for the debug kernel
kernel-debug-core : %{variant_summary}
kernel-debug-devel : Development package for building kernel modules to match the kernel
kernel-debug-devel-matched : Meta package to install matching core and devel packages for a given kernel
kernel-debug-modules : kernel modules to match the core kernel
kernel-debug-modules-core : Core kernel modules to match the core kernel
kernel-debug-modules-extra : Extra kernel modules to match the kernel
kernel-debug-modules-internal : Extra kernel modules to match the kernel
kernel-debug-uki-virt : %{variant_summary} unified kernel image for virtual machines
kernel-debug-uki-virt-addons : %{variant_summary} unified kernel image addons for virtual machines
kernel-devel : Development package for building kernel modules to match the kernel
kernel-devel-matched : Meta package to install matching core and devel packages for a given kernel
kernel-doc : Various documentation bits found in the kernel source
kernel-headers : Header files for the Linux kernel for use by glibc
kernel-modules : kernel modules to match the core kernel
kernel-modules-core : Core kernel modules to match the core kernel
kernel-modules-extra : Extra kernel modules to match the kernel
kernel-modules-internal : Extra kernel modules to match the kernel
kernel-selftests-internal : Kernel samples and selftests
kernel-tools : Assortment of tools for the Linux kernel
kernel-tools-libs : Libraries for the kernels-tools
kernel-tools-libs-devel : Assortment of tools for the Linux kernel
kernel-uki-virt : The Linux kernel unified kernel image for virtual machines
kernel-uki-virt-addons : The Linux kernel unified kernel image addons for virtual machines
I would have to go back to 6.13.6 because since 6.13.7 it no longer works
If your previous deployment has a working kernel, you can simply rollback. If not, and assuming you want to replace the kernel with kernel-6.13.6-200.fc41, the command should be: sudo rpm-ostree override replace https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2673955.
Please note that the replaced kernel will remain until you manually reset the overridde with the following command: sudo rpm-ostree override reset kernel-tools-libs kernel kernel-modules-extra python3-perf kernel-modules-core kernel-core kernel-modules kernel-tools.
Very strange, that didn’t work, but now that I have reverted to 6.13.7, I can use the graphics card. Something is very shaky with the AMD Driver and the kernel because a further restart prevented the graphics card from being used again.
There is probably no possibility to choose the LTS kernel? I have now reinstalled my device once to rule out that something is wrong with the installation. The graphics card is still missing and unfortunately the system freezes again and again, I often read here that the LTS helps.
At least I don’t know of an official version of the LTS kernel in Fedora. I’m using an AMD Radeon RX 5600 and haven’t had any significant issues so far. I don’t play video games, but I use Ollama/ROCm in a container and I haven’t had any significant issues so far either. I have not installed any additional drivers other than those in the official Fedora Silverblue.
