Hi All,

I released the RC7 of kernel 6.0 for testing today.

New:
Download: linux-image-6.0-rc7-X1000_X5000.tar.gz

Issue: There are some issues with KVM (HV + PR) if you use the kernels compiled with GCC 11.2.0 so I compiled the kernels with GCC 9.4.0 again.
Please also use them if you have other issues with the GCC 11.2.0 compiled kernels.
I will compile the final kernel 6.0 with GCC 9.4.0.

Downloads:

Please test the kernels.

Thanks,
Christian

Hi All,

Arminder has released the version 2 of his i2c-pasemi_apple_silicon patch.

I compiled a new test kernel with his new patch today and it works without any problems.

Download: linux-image-6.0-rc7-2-X1000.tar.gz

Link to the thread: [PATCH v2] i2c/pasemi: PASemi I2C controller IRQ enablement -- linuxppc-dev

Cheers,
Christian

Hi All,

I successfully compiled the alpha3 with the first PowerPC updates yesterday.

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.

Cheers,
Christian
