I still did not have a “fixed” kernel available for apt ito install.

It simply didn’t hit the apt repos and mirrors still. Either wait (like anti-apXos has recommended), or if you really really need it, fetch the appropriate deb packages (image and matching headers) from the link anticapitalista gave: Trixie (antiX 26), Bookworm (antiX 23) and Bullseye (antiX 21/22)

Trixie:

Instructions for manual local install:

1.) Download manually the two .deb packages (image and headers) matching your architecture and antiX version.
2.) (no way to check against a checksum file unfortunately here, while a default apt install from the mirrors does this for you automatically always)
3.) Update the local apt database (if not done for more than some hours before already) :
$ sudo apt-get update

4.) Proceed precisely like what I had described above for a default apt kernel install, but you must add a path (absolute or relative) to the locally stored packages in your command now:
$ sudo apt-get install ./linux-headers-6.6.137-antix.1-amd64-smp.deb ./linux-image-6.6.137-antix.1-amd64-smp.deb
for relative path pointing to current working directory you are in, expecting the downloaded .deb files residing there, or absolute:
$ sudo apt-get install /path/to/linux-headers-6.6.137-antix.1-amd64-smp.deb /path/to/linux-image-6.6.137-antix.1-amd64-smp.deb
Both are equivalent. No need to resort to dpkg, apt can handle local installs perfectly. The example is for 64 bit. (Replace the filenames of the packages by what you actually have downloaded, and adjust the path if needed.)

Apply steps 5.), 6.) and 7.) exactly like described before.
