      HI Friends!Fresh frugal intallation of antix19 base.Tried to change default kernel.Installed 5.2.21-antix.2 smp x64, did a remaster and updated kernel.Upon booting after the boot sequences completed I got a blank screen.So Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get into a console login and roll back to 4.9 default kernel.The result is same with 5.2.15.So I installed 4.19.83-antix.1-amd64-smp and this kernel working good.During installation of 5.2 kernels I got this erors:

      Setting up linux-headers-5.2.21-antix.2-amd64-smp (5.2.21-antix.2-amd64-smp-2) ...
Setting up linux-image-5.2.21-antix.2-amd64-smp (5.2.21-antix.2-amd64-smp-2) ...

        Those errors are because the 5 series kernel needs newer versions of some firmware, which Debian buster will not provide.

        If you do not have need of ndiswrapper-dkms and broadcom-sta-dkms, you can remove then, then to remove the message, rebuild the initramfs

        sudo update-initramfs -k all -u -t

        You may also find that your hardware is too old to support a 5 series kernel.

        Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

        antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

          Thanks anti.I stay with 4.19.83-antix.1 which is also a lts kernel.But I have 5.2.21-antix.2 kernels running in antix19 core and MX19 without any issues on this same pc.Anyway I will do as you instructed above to stop the message in antix19-core and mx19.I think this issue starts from the upgrade of buster10.1 to 10.2.
