Hi All,

I have compiled the RC1-2 of kernel 6.18 for X1000 and e5500 machines (X5000/20, X5000/40, Mirari, and QEMU VMs) without the power management for PCI and PCI Express (CONFIG_PCIEASPM and CONFIG_PCIEASPM_DEFAULT).

Great! Thank you for testing and for your logs.

Hi All,

I released the alpha8 of kernel 6.18 with the pci.patch (reverting patch) for X1000 and e5500 machines (X5000/20, X5000/40, Mirari, and QEMU VMs) today.
