Volumio x86 minimum CPU architecture requirement?

Hello.
Is it true that Volumio x86 require i686 processor and do not support i586?
In scripts/x86config.sh script here: github.com/volumio/Build there is linux-image-_i386.deb
cat /etc/
-release in installed in VM system show Jessie 8
I know that when Debian’s “i386” is not mean i386 long time ago.
AFAIR, Debian 8 supports i586 and Debian 9 supports i686 and AMD Geodes (which are not plain i586 but almost i686 except NOPL)
Volumio say “This kernel requires i686, detected i586. Unable to boot” booting on AMD Geode LX.
Which one kernel image Volumio use?

Doh, just found this:
lists.debian.org/debian-devel-a … 00001.html
Last year it was decided to increase the minimum CPU features for the i386 architecture to 686-class in the stretch release cycle.
This means dropping support for 586-class and hybrid 586/686 processors.
This was implemented in the Linux kernel packages starting with Linux 4.3.

Silly progress :imp:

Which archive Volumio version use kernel <4.3?

Volumio images for X86 still have kernel 3.18.25, we have not moved to Debian stretch yet.
Support is limited to 32-bit for two reasons:

  • Volumio must also run on older configurations
  • Reducing maintenance effort: one version for all.

There are dev (experimental) versions with kernel 4.16, which were created to try newer Intel/AMD hardware configurations and firmware.
These versions also help us to prepare for the final stretch port.

Look at section Volumio Development/ Development Talks/ “Next-X86” and read the OP for further information.

That’s strange, 2.411 from download section show 4.16.0 kernel.
I found way to download previous versions, will download and test them then.
