Title: [solved] Install older Kernel
Post by: Peter on February 25, 2020, 03:11:11 PM

My fanless system (gemini lake cpu N4100) freezes every day (kernel 4.19 and 5.5). One user reported no freezes with kernel 4.18.0-15-generic (Debian/Ubuntu?). Seems to be my last hope after trying every found solution on the internet. Is it possible to install an older kernel? How?

Thanks for any help

Kernel 4.18 is built on my pc right now :)

Thanks Pavroo
