On antiX17 stretch-repos the virtual-guest-dkms does not match with the others.

I removed the 3 virtualbox-guest packages and rebuilt dkms again, without errors this time.

I also installed 4.9.87 kernel to the other (old, too) laptop (see below), without remove the 3 virtualbox-guest packages before. No installation or rebuilding dkms errors.

Repos seem to me the same for both laptops. For the P4 (no errors) one:

Repos:     Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/antix.list
           deb http://repo.antixlinux.com/stretch/ stretch main nosystemd

           deb http://ftp.gr.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free
           deb http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free

For the celeron (virtualbox errors) one:

Repos:     Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/antix.list
           deb http://repo.antixlinux.com/stretch stretch main nosystemd
           Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian-stable-updates.list

           deb http://ftp.gr.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free
           deb http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free

But the important thing for me is that both laptops seem to work well with 4.9.87 kernel.

Hi guys,

update on my 32 bit machine:

Distro: antiX-16.1_386-full Berta Cáceres
Type: Laptop System: Acer product: Extensa 5220
Dual Core model: Intel Core2 Duo T7500
(3 GB RAM, 120 GB SSD )

4.9.91.antix.1 kernel
Total fail! 🙁
System now needs up to two minutes until login screen (with 4.4.109 it took around 30 seconds)
External mouse doesn’t work anymore. Sound cracks. A few seconds later the whole system freezes.
No good!

4.4.125.antix.1 kernel
Works perfect! 🙂
No issues so far, boot time around 33 seconds.
Good job! 🙂
