Booting Debiandogs with Puppy kernels is it possible? DogPuppy

@darry19662018 Yes it is.

I haven't done it in awhile on a Dog but I have regularly on WeeDog-Void's used different huge kernels complied for Puppy Linux.

So can someone show me some pointers to achieving this? A few clues?

It would be nice if someone answered this thread.

Recently made a Stretchdog which I decided to experiment with to see if I could get a Puppy Kernel working with it and it worked.

Porteus Boot.

title Dog_5 in /Dog_5/live
kernel /Dog_5/live/vmlinuz1 from=/Dog_5 noauto changes=/Dog_5/live
initrd /Dog_5/live/initrd1.xz

Used the one from Hirsuite by renaming zdrive to k-5.3-114.squashfs, initrd from Puppy to initrd1.xz and vmlinz from Puppy renamed to vmlinz1 and fdrv from Hirsuite to fdrv.squashfs and it booted screenshot below.

Hi darry,

Interesting!
One thing I cannot understand, you say that you renamed the Puppy initrd.gz to initrd1.xz, how can it be that you boot with porteus-boot parameters then? (e.g. from=.... etc...)
EDIT: Just curious, why is it that you'd like to use a Puppy kernel ?

Well it is working on this setup so I am happy. I'll leave it to others to try out.

I tried it not expecting it to work - I just thought what the hell - give it ago - so whether it is true porteous boot is up to to judge - I am just happy to try out using one of my favourite dogs with one of Peebee's great kernels from one of my now favourite Pups. My changes are being preserved on reboot.

Built the Dog from your Stretch Build System. Anyway coolbeans, thank you for your Dog systems.
