Hi All,

The merge window is over. Linus Torvalds has released the RC1 of kernel 6.17 for testing yesterday.

Hi All,

Here is the alpha5 of kernel 6.17 for X1000 and e5500 machines (X5000/20, X5000/40, Mirari, and QEMU VMs).

I created kernels with and without the drm-next-2025-07-30 updates because of the issue with the Radeon graphics framebuffer device #15.

Download and further information: github.com

Please test both kernels.

Thanks,
Christian

Hi All,

I released the alpha4 of kernel 6.17 for X1000 and e5500 machines (X5000/20, X5000/40, Mirari, and QEMU VMs) today.

If you have a Radeon graphics card then you don’t need to test it because of the issue with the initialization of Radeon framebuffer and setup emulation #15.

Thanks,
Christian

Many thanks for testing! I have the same issue on my X1000. Blank screen during the boot. The Radeon graphics framebuffer device doesn't work anymore.

I reported this issue to the kernel developers.

Kernel 6.17 Alpha1 is working on my Mirari e5500 but Alpha3 is not. (did not test Alpha 2 )
