I've been using this on Debian 11 on an HP ML330 G6. It has dual xeons. The main reason is that there is a bug in the normal Debian kernel that prevents that specific machine from booting with a kernel panic. The bug seems to be fixed in later kernel versions, hence Liquorix. That machine also boots fine from a debian 10 kernel which is how I was able to install liquorix after the debian 11 upgrade went sideways.

There are newer Linux kernel versions in Debian bullseye-backports btw. Also, if you know which patch fixes the panic, you might want to get it into the Linux kernel LTS releases, which end up in Debian stable after a month or two. https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel...

  I should try to narrow it down but will have to set aside some time to try a few kernels and see which patch it was, which is hard when I'm using it.

    Here are the Debian Linux kernel bisect instructions if you haven't done one of those before: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernel/GitBisect https://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernel/GitBisect Tip from it: use the Debian wayback machine to do the first narrowing down: https://snapshot.debian.org/package/linux/ https://snapshot.debian.org/package/linux/

      Awesome thanks!
