Kernel 4.17

[xeno74]

Nope...,does not boot... it won't leave the Uboot screen.

OK, I will leave the corenet generic support in the X5000 kernels. Many thanks for the fast testing!

Cheers,

Hi All,

I added the e1000 network adapter driver to the QEMU e5500 Linux kernel today. Now, you can connect your virtual e5500 machine to the network.
