[meta-intel] Old Hardware Support

[Enrico Pelò]

Hello,
the PC boot but after the Yocto's splash screen the display went black and the computer is not visible on the network.
The same configuration with meta-intel defaulta works fine on a I5 8th generation.
But I used
PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-yocto ?= "4.14%" 
instead of 
PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-intel = "4.14%"

Maybe is this the problem?

Thank you
Enrico

    Can you please share the error and the logs? What exactly is happening
    and with which kernel version?

    You can switch between the kernels to be built using:
    
    PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-intel = "4.9%"
    
    or 
    
    PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-intel = "4.14%"
    
    or 
    
    PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-intel = "4.19%"
