Hi All,

The merge window is over. Linus Torvalds has released the RC1 of kernel 7.0 for testing.

I compiled it for X1000 and e5500 machines (X5000/20, X5000/40, Mirari, and QEMU VMs) yesterday.

Please test the kernels.

Hi All,

Here is the alpha4 of kernel 7.0 for X1000 and e5500 machines (X5000/20, X5000/40, Mirari, and QEMU VMs).

We were previously able to disable PREEMPT in the kernel configuration because of issues with KVM PR and KVM HV, but the latest kernels now enable it by default and it is no longer possible to disable it.

I created a bug report and a patch for disabling PREEMPT today. KVM PR and KVM HV work without any problems with the patched alpha4.



Please test the kernels.

Thanks,
Christian
