Linux kernel configs for computers I have known and used
For now, I'll name the configs after the DMI strings of the PCs they're meant for. I'll try to document each one separately.
I've been using btrfs, so that's the only typical on-disk filesystem I've included in these kernels. You will likely want to change some of the configuration before you build a kernel for yourself. In fact, rolling your own is likely better than these.
This is for a Compaq (now HP) Presario CQ57 laptop, powered by AMD's E-300 APU. Note
this kernel was only tested with Alpine Linux. There are a few unclaimed devices
reported by lshw
, but most everything should work.
The Presario CQ57 carries an AMD Bobcat processor core as part of its E-300 APU, so I am using a patch to add specific support for that CPU in the build. The specific patch is here.
This is for a hp Notebook 15-ay041wm touch laptop with product number X0H86UA#ABA. It has a Skylake Intel Core i3 processor with a GT2 graphics chip (HD Graphics 520.) I no longer own this computer, so there will be no further changes to this config. No webcam support was built here, either.
This is for a Toshiba Satellite C55-B5201 laptop. It's powered by a Bay Trail notebook Celeron processor and carries Intel HD Graphics (which are driven by the kernel's i915 driver.) I no longer own this computer, so there will be no further changes to this config. A few built-in devices weren't included here.
