Hi All,

Here is the RC4 of kernel 5.9 for testing.

New:
Download: linux-image-5.9-rc4-X1000_X5000.tar.gz

I successfully tested the X5000 Linux kernel 5.9-rc4 with Fienix Soar 3.0-2020608 in an e5500 based virtual QEMU machine today.

Screenshots:

New:
Download: linux-image-5.9-rc5-X1000_X5000.tar.gz

Screenshot of Fienix with the RC5 and with a virtual Fienix with also the RC5 in a QEMU/KVM HV machine:

Hi All,

I tried to compile the RC6 today but unfortunately it doesn't compile.

Error messages:

Re: Kernel 5.9

Hi All,

I am happy to announce the availability of the new final kernel 5.9 for our AmigaOnes. Now, we have the possibility to use the latest Linux kernel on our AmigaOnes. With modern distributions like Fienix, it is possible, to use many features of the new kernel 5.9.
Many thanks to all for helping me with testing, reporting, and fixing problems during the kernel 5.9 test time. Have a lot of fun with the new kernel 5.9.
