Hi all,

I cross compiled the new stable longterm kernel 4.1.27 for the AmigaONE X1000 today.

New:

• ChangeLog
• Linux Git log

Download: vmlinux-4.1.27-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.gz

Please test this cross compiled kernel because I don't know if it boots.

Thanks in advance,

Christian

Works with my MATE. I'll try with 12.04 later, maybe.

At least I know I can get on, in case I test the new 4.7 rc4-2 and it doesn't work.

Thanks a lot for testing the stable longterm kernel 4.1.27. It's good to know that it works.

Hi All,

I tried to compile the kernel 4.1.28 today. Unfortunately it didn't compile because of an undeclared variable PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC_COMP.

Error message:
I reported this issue on the Linux ppc mailing list today. After that, Michael posted a patch because of this issue. Then I compiled the kernel again and I can confirm that the patch works.

Further information: Linuxppc-dev -- Linux on PowerPC Developers Mail List

I tested the kernel for some hours today. Unfortunately the X1000 frequently freezes or completely halts with the kernel 4.1.28. That means, I can't release the kernel 4.1.28.

If you want to test it then you can download it via the following link: vmlinux-4.1.28-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.gz

I don't know where the problem is in the patches.

The same problem occurs with the new 3.18.37.

I suspect prom.h also has a problem though not necessarily internal. Maybe something like using the wrong function for a configuration. YUK----Bugs.

Hi Mechanic,

Many thanks for reporting! I reported the issue on the Linux PPC mailing list today.

Hi All,

I have really great news for you. The stable longterm kernel 4.1 is back! The kernel developers solved the problem with the kernel freezing. They also fixed the build break due to missing PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC.

The new longterm kernel 4.1.29 is very stable again.

I tested a lot of things with the kernel 4.1.29 and it works very well.

Test results:

1. Hardware 3D acceleration works with an AMD Radeon HD6870 (tested with DOOM 3 and SuperTuxKart 0.8.1-2)
2. Sound works (MP3 files, web radio etc)
3. LAN works (Realtek RTL-8139)
4. WLAN works (FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick N)
5. "PR" KVM works (QEMU guest: Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger)
6. Compiz works
7. YouTube HD videos work with ViewTube
8. Internal CF card works
9. pas_shutdown works

Further information:

2. ChangeLog

Download: vmlinux-4.1.29-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.gz

Please test it.

Thanks,

Christian

I was messing around with 4.1.29 and Deb-stretch.

A build with the default gcc-5.4 (or dropping to 4.9.3) worked for booting,, but the keyboard and mouse refused to work so all I got was a login screen I could not do anything with.

A build with 4.9.2-10 (Deb 8.5) works very well, at least everything I tried. However, the user interface is slow. Typing and mouse clicks are not snappy to the screen.

Interesting! Have you tested my build as well?
