Unfortunately this kernel is really dangerous. Many things for example Network Manager and LightDM don't work anymore and produced several gigabyte of config files till the partition has been filled.

I deleted some files like the resolv.conf that had a size over 200 GB!

Unfortunately, MintPPC was still damaged. For example LightDM doesn't work anymore and the MATE desktop doesn't display any icons anymore because Caja wasn't able to reserve memory anymore.

In this case, bisecting isn't an option and I have to wait some weeks. It is really difficult to find the issue if the userland will damaged again and again.

We have the first answer. :-)

The patch applies the same approach for 32 bit kernels, as explained in the commit message : "Fix this by having 32-bit kernels share those syscall definitions with compat."

OK, now, I know, that I don’t need to test it. After the boot of the latest git kernel, my system was extremely damaged. Some config files have a size of several gigabytes for example the resolv.conf. I tried to repair this Debian system but without any success.
I copied with dd and Netcat via network another rootfs from another computer to the damaged partition.
I don’t have the time to do it always again and again after a bad bisect result.
I will wait some weeks and try it again.

Cheers,
Christian

Hi All,

Here is the stable longterm kernel 5.10.149 for the X1000 and X5000.

It's suitable for old Linux distributions which don't work with the latest kernels for example Ubuntu 10.04. It's also suitable if you have some issues with the latest kernels.

New:
Download: linux-image-5.10.149-X1000_X5000.tar.gz

@Roland
Could you please test this kernel? I want to make sure that it works for you.

@All
Of course you can also test it. I know that Roland needs this kernel for his X5000.

Cheers,
Christian

Hi Christian
Unfortunately, I can't test anything at the moment.
I have some problems that might be related to my graphics card, but I'm not sure
I can boot, but right before the boot menu I get a black screen.
In AmigaOS I get a restart ,before the graphics screen ,with the message No graphics screen found.

I'll get back to you when I know more

Hi Christian

My X1000 worked for a short period and I took the chance to test kernel 5.10.149
Mate 17 remix boot on linux-5.10.149 without problems.
Then my screen signal disappeared again.
Have a nice day

Hi All,

I compiled the RC2 of kernel 6.1 today.

After the first boot of the RC2, the file system was immediately to 100% used.

Code: Select all

This is the same issue we have seen with the git kernel 3 weeks ago.

The X1000 and the X5000 are both affected.

I reported the test results to the kernel developers today.
