Hi,
-
May please someone explain how to do that because just replacing the kernel package is not enough for proper booting.

Is
linux-firmware
really useful for that model?

It has been a long time since I have done it. I used to test the kernel on the pi4 every once in a while. It will never be as good as using the Pi Foundation kernel so I have completely lost interest in it.
linux-firmware is not normally needed with the pi4. Most of the pi firmware comes in another package and installed under /usr/lib/firmware/updates/.
TY @Darksky,
linux-rpi4
is for now on 6.12.35-1 and linux
on 6.15.5-1
Does linux-rpi4
follow the latest LTS update plan?
Wish You well
I build 6 rpi kernels a week and they pretty much stay up to speed with upstream versions. Hopefully tomorrow RPi will update their trees with the latest. They do not work on week ends.
linux-rpi4: 6.12.y tree
linux-rpi4-mainline: 6.15.y tree
linux-rpi4-rc: Currently 6.16.y tree
linux-rpi5: 6.12.y tree
linux-rpi5-mainline: 6.15.y tree
linux-rpi5-rc: Currently 6.16.y tree
So you have 3 kernel versions to choose from with the pi3. Don’t use any of the pi5 kernels or it will not boot.
TY @Darksky,
If I understand well, I may replace linux-rpi4
with linux-rpi4-mainline
without other changes to work out of the box with the latest kernel available?
Wish You well
Correct.
