Hi everyone!

For a while, I’ve been using the surface kernel for my Surface Go using Fedora 40. The other day I tried to clone my installation with Clonezilla to put it on another old computer I had lying around.

It didn’t work and I have a suspicion that it didn’t because of the surface kernel so I’m trying to use the stock kernel instead.

After a few modifications, usinge uname -a, this is the output I get: Linux surface-go-fedora-de-guillaume 6.10.10-200.fc40.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Sep 12 18:26:09 UTC 2024 x86_64 GNU/Linux

When using uname -mrs, this is the output I get: Linux 6.10.10-200.fc40.x86_64 x86_64

Can someone with more knowledge than me confirm that everything is back to stock form as I don’t know if the SMP PREEMPT thing shoud be there? Doe’s anyone know if the Surface Kernel is probably what prevented me from cloning my installation and putting it on another computer?

Well to be honest I don’t remember exactly how it didn’t work on my other computer since it was months ago.

I just want to future proof the ability to clone my Surface Go install on any future computer just in case.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
