Here is the final kernel 5.19. Many thanks to Skateman and Musa for testing the alphas and release candidates. :-)

5.19-6[/url] (Re-enable the new amdgpu display engine for powerpc, as long as the compiler is correctly configured)

Cheers,

This is the last note about amdgpu what I found.
Please, is in last kernels amdgpu for powerpc big endian still supported ?
And tested anybody if is better/faster/whatever compares to radeon with supported cards ?

I want to test Southern/Sea Island ( CGN1/2 ) cards support.

I am sorry, I don't use the amdgpu kernel driver so I don't have any experiences with it. I use the radeon kernel driver. Our kernels don't have amdgpu support.

Sorry

Thank you, it is OK. I just wanted to know the state of drivers. If there will be both drivers, I will test which is more suitable for CGN1+2. In this case it is easier. ;-)
After proper adjustment on my primary card ( southern island ) I will add second one, ( northern island ) and all will works with radeon only.

Hi All,

The merge window has been closed and I am happy to announce the RC1 of kernel 6.4 for testing.

New:

There are some issues with the BTTV driver for TV cards so we added the new BTTV driver originally planned for the kernel 6.5 to our kernel 6.4. This new driver works without any problems with the BTTV TV cards.

More news:
Download: linux-image-6.4-rc1-X1000_X5000.tar.gz

Many thanks to Musa (Peter) for the nice wallpaper. :-)

Please test the kernels.

Thanks,
Christian

Booting with an initial ramdisk works with the kernel 6.4. :-)
  1. Code: Select all

    CFE> setenv bootargs "root=LABEL=void"
  2. Code: Select all

    CFE> ramdisk -z -addr=0x24000000 -fatfs cf0:initrd-5.10.img
  3. Code: Select all

    CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs -z cf0:zImage-6.4
Another attempt:
  1. Code: Select all

    bash-5.1# tune2fs -L DEBIAN /dev/sdb6
  2. Code: Select all

    CFE> setenv bootargs "root=LABEL=DEBIAN"
  3. Code: Select all

    CFE> ramdisk -z -addr=0x24000000 -fatfs cf0:initrd-5.10.img
  4. Code: Select all

    CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs -z cf0:zImage-6.4
Another attempt with the not compressed vmlinux kernel image:
  1. Code: Select all

    CFE> setenv bootargs "root=LABEL=DEBIAN"
  2. Code: Select all

    CFE> ramdisk -z -addr=0x24000000 -fatfs cf0:initrd-5.10.img
  3. Code: Select all

    CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:vmlinux-6.4
You can use the initial ramdisk from the kernel 5.10 package.
