Hi Christian
I copied vmlinux-5.4 onto a usb drive and then tried the kernel from there. As you can see in the picture, Fienix starts without problems.
Also tested the zimage-5.4 and it booted too. Mate terminal also opens.
So I have a problem with my cf card :( . The weird thing is that all old kernels work.
Have a nice weekend

Good to know. Many thanks for testing the RC8! Did you copy the kernels with OS4.1 to the CF card?

I have now halved the size of the cf card and formatted in fat 16. Now all errors away.
No I haven't used Os4.1 but used ubuntu 17 remix.

Good idea with the half size and FAT16! Thanks a lot for the info!

Hi All,

The final kernel 5.4 has been released.

New:
Download: linux-image-5.4-X1000_X5000.tar.gz

Please note: There are problems with some PCI cards if you have more than 3.5G RAM in your X5000. If you have this problem please reduce the RAM with the boot argument "mem=3500M". The X1000 isn't affected. We created a bug report a month ago. Link to the bug report: Bug 205201 - Booting halts if Dawicontrol DC-2976 UW SCSI board installed, unless RAM size limited to 3500M

Please test the kernels.

Thanks,
Christian
