Kernel 4.00 (3.20)

[mechanic]

Had a little time and tried 4.00 on my Mint 11 system.

Sound, both network (pasemi+RTL8139), video, Quake3 all work.

So, perhaps some problem(s) must be related to Ubuntu something(???)

Yes, you are certainly right.

Now, I can't boot anymore MATE. Xeno74, the same for you if I understood well ?

Yes, you understood right. Only ubuntu MATE 15.04 has problems with kernel 4.00. But you can activate systemd with

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install systemd-sysv

It boots faster and the problem with mounting the root partition is gone. But I had a problem with the 'mate-settings-daemon'.

Hi,

I have figured out some interesting things. Ubuntu will switch from the init system 'upstart' to 'systemd'. On our systems is 'upstart' the default init system. I activated systemd with 'apt-get install systemd-sysv'. It boots faster and the problem with mounting the root partition is gone. I don't need the boot arguments 'rw' for the init system 'systemd'. But I have a problem with my MATE desktop. If I start my ubuntu MATE 15.04 with systemd then the 'mate-settings-daemon' doesn't work correctly. I changed back to upstart.

Cheers,

Christian

Not really. Kernel 4.00 alpha works well with Lubuntu 12.04.5 LTS and Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS:

OK, do you know if this problem is specific to X1000 4.00 kernel ? Is another architecture have the same problem ?

"But you can activate systemd with..."
As I have only one Linux partition, I dont want to break my working MATE 15.04 kernel 3.19

Thx

Unfortunately the Power Mac users don't test (L)(X)ubuntu (MATE) 15.04 currently (see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2264322). I can't motivate them to test it currently. We are alone.

You're right. I will release some bug fix versions of the kernel 3.19 if the kernel 4.00 doesn't work with Ubuntu 15.04 in the future.

Thank you for your help.

I see that this part of Ubuntu forum is a branch of this Hyperion forum. It's the same guys that participate


For 15.04/4.00, just to be sure, I retested it.

1) boot with RTL8139 wired => boot fails

2) boot with RTL8139 UNwired => boot OK

3) As soon as I replug my RTL8139 => OS freezes.

Xeno74, for you, can you boot 15.04/4.00 when you UNwire your RTL8139 ?

I'll try it with the alpha3.

Here is the new Nemo patch for the alpha3:

I have good news. The alpha3 works with ubuntu MATE 15.04. It hasn't problems with the network devices.

Here is the download of the alpha3: vmlinux-4.00.0-alpha3-AMIGA_one_X1000.tar.bz2

Thank you for testing!!!!!!!! I'm so glad that it works.

I activated some more kernel options for the RTL8139.

Code: Select all

CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_REALTEK=y
CONFIG_8139CP=y
CONFIG_8139TOO=y
CONFIG_8139TOO_PIO=y
CONFIG_8139TOO_TUNE_TWISTER=y
CONFIG_8139TOO_8129=y
