Request for kernel update
Hi!
I'm using GRML on my new gaming PC, and that new actually means "really new". So new that the network chip (Realtek 8126) is not supported by the 6.11.10 kernel from Debian trixie that is used by GRML 2024.12.
I'm currently testing several Linux distributions that specifically support gaming, and all of them use a newer kernel. I had the same problem with Ubuntu 24.10, though.
I imagine that more people will run into this. That's why I'm asking for an (intermediate? new?) version of GRML with a newer kernel. Right now I have removed all gaming Linuxes from the PC to test a special way to install windows (all described in c't 7/2025). If you want details, this will take a little.
So, pretty pleease? This could coincide with the support for John Heim's speech synth request.

We're planning to release a new stable Grml version in 2025-05. But in the meanwhile you could grab a Grml daily ISO from https://grml.org/daily/ which already provides kernel version 6.12.25 right now.
The daily ISOs are also what we'll use as base for our stable release, so we'd very much appreciate any testing and feedback!

I'll download the most recent ISO later tonight or tomorrow and test it.
Thanks a lot! Lupe Christoph

I tested today's grml-full-amd64-testing_latest.iso and it works fine. Since I was already at it, I also tested the grml-full-amd64-unstable_latest.iso and it's also fine with the new network chip.
I'll switch my GRML stick to grml-full-amd64-testing_latest.iso. Maybe update it once in a while until 2025-05 is released.
Thanks for all your work! Lupe Christoph
