::Thanks Wallon! I’ve been using a couple of my other systems today, but this gives me something to examine; not sure there is much more I can do other than what I’ve already done by keeping a few other kernels available. But your note at least provides me with a plausible example for the frequent problems I’ve seen on that system.
Now I’m back with an OLD system that has a partially broken hinge between the keyboard section and the laptop monitor, but I’ve been able to get more life out of this one with an old 4.9 kernel and a light antiX configuration; here’s a 2008 HP laptop, my oldest current system!

::Yippee! I got into the antiX 5.10.142 kernel on my Dell Inspiron 5558; it took some experimentation; here’s how I did it:
earlier, I was able to boot in, but I used nomodeset; that had the consequence of not giving me any usable device to get into the X server, but at least I was able to boot, so I verified that indeed the kernel works.
This time, I got in by selecting S and vga=vesa, so I went into single user mode, then issued telinit 5 to go the graphical user mode. I believe this system supports 1366xsomething, so that’s the next thing I’ll do; change the boot video parameter to something this display can support.
I’ll check that using inxi’s “G” option to determine the capabilities, then keep the correct string handy. That ought to do it!

::I also got in with selecting S and vga=vesa on the linux line` with the 5.10.142 kernel, and when I got to the prompt, I just pressed Ctrl-D and went to multi-user mode successfully. Quite a hack, but at least I can get in!
I tried to set the mode to 1366×768 by editing /etc/default/grub, explicitly setting GRUB_GFXMODE to 1366×768, then running update-grub; that alone still doesn’t get it, but booting in single user mode, and then going to multi-user mode with VESA set does appear to work, and once in, inxi -G reports at least that 1366×768 IS the mode; it STILL bugs me that the Liquorix kernels and the version 4 kernels DON’T require any manual boot line hacking whatsoever, but I at least have a way to get in now with the 5.10 kernels as well as the other kernels.

::it STILL bugs me that the Liquorix kernels and the version 4 kernels DON’T require any manual boot line hacking whatsoever,
Similarly, the jxself gnu linux libre kernels (versions 4 or 5), which I’m running on an Asus laptop, don’t require any hacking either – they just work.

::Hooray! I’m in the process of replacing my Acer Aspire A515-55 with ” HP 14 Laptop, AMD Ryzen 5 5500U, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD Storage, 14-inch Full HD Display, Windows 11 Home, Thin & Portable, Micro-edge & Anti-glare Screen, Long Battery Life (14-fq1025nr, 2021)”, ordering through Amazon, expecting it Thursday, September 22 – Friday, September 23.
The Acer Aspire A515-55 had a 10th generation Intel core i3 processor and it was reasonably responsive, but I had a lot of trouble with the Acer Firmware and system configuration tool. From the very beginning, it took me a couple of weeks to figure out how to enable AHCI capabilities so that I could replace Windows 10 with a few Linux distributions. Then, when I did, most of the time when I inserted a USB, unless it was formatted only a certain way, a tool they had called “Linpus” would come up, but half of the time, it wouldn’t even detect the USB Flash drive I was inserting, so when I’d run our Live USB Maker, for instance, this was a big problem. If I created everything using only the dd capabilities, SOMETIMES I’d have better results, but not always; it got tiring figuring out when things would work and when they wouldn’t.
To add insult to injury, the configuration tool got obscured and I couldn’t access it for quite a while (months). I wanted it back, scoured through on-line documents and finally found a way to get it back, only to discover that when I did, I had it password protected; I looked everywhere, including the original box to see if I had the written password saved somewhere; still haven’t found it, so I decided to get rid of this system entirely. Performance is decent when it is working properly, but it has the worst system BIOS/ control center of any system I’ve used throughout my lifetime.
A friend of mine told me that the AMD Ryzen 5 5500U system is a much more price/performance capable model, and the other old HP systems I have in the corner have easy to use BIOS units, so I’m looking forward to the change; should have it here by Friday!

::I finally found a reliable, reproducible solution to my stuck antiX boots with the 5.10 kernel series.
Though once in a great while they just work, a reliable way, particularly on my Dell Inspiron 5558 laptop is to go into /etc/default/grub, eg.
sudo geany /etc/default/gruband search for GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet”; change it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”nofb” instead, and for
good measure, setGRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768x32,auto set GFXPAYLOAD=keepsave the file, and run `sudo update-grub’ and then /boot/grub/grub.cfg should contain
linux /boot/vmlinuz-5.10.142-antix.2-amd64-smp root=UUID=dadd5816-6e4a-468d-93ea-6639bf91d990 ro nofb
or something similar for the antiX kernels; it doesn’t hurt any of them, but it ensures that the 5.10 kernels will boot without the framebuffer, which has been causing problems, as I discovered when I took off the quiet flag.Problem solved.
