Not sure what's going on with my system. Last night I was testing out blkid with Precise. When suddenly sudo started complaining about some var file not existing. I logged out but then ended up rebooting from terminal using keyboard reset. Reboot back in and fsck complains there are errors. Suggests fixing manually. But manage an auto fix and it finds orphan inodes. Seems to be booting again normally after.

I then booted Fienix and it couldn't load the GUI! Checked dmesg and lightdm plus others after it were crashing in libgobject. Seriously!

I gave up for the night. Try again tonight. It works fine. No idea what that was about! Hope my SSD is okay as it hasn't been in there long but I don't know what causes these freak crashes. Running 6.13 RC5 and just installed RC6. Hope I can continue my testing.

Hypex,

Oh dear. It doesn’t sound good. I hope you can fix it.

Cheers,
Christian

I tested the RC6 of kernel 6.13 on my X5000/40 today. KVM HV works without any problems with the kvm_hv_final.patch.

Hi All,

I released the RC7 of kernel 6.13 for the X1000 and X5000 today.

Download and further information: github.com

Please test the kernels.

Thanks,
Christian

Hi
I got 5 min. with my x1000 and I made this.
Then the machine close down.
There are lights in the machine and the fans are running,
but the on/off and reset buttons no longer work. I have to turn off the power supply directly.
I don't have time to mess with it right now.

Have a nice day

Seems it was a temporary glitch. The system appears fine now. Before I was getting fails on kernel load. Just tested the RC6 and RC7 now. Booted up fine. Looking good. All "green lights" as kernel loads.

Also I noticed you released some kernels as XZ but now dropped back to GZ again. Did it take too long to pack for the result? My i5 laptop seemed barely faster than my X1000 when compressing a kernel as XZ.

The symptoms you describe were very much like mine when my battery was fading. How long since you replaced the battery? Might want to check the battery voltages if it hasn't been too long.

Great!

No, it doesn’t take long because I cross compile the kernels on Servers with good Xeon CPUs.
There was an issue with installing packages on MintPPC so it is difficult to unpack other archive formats if you can’t install packages for this archive formats.

There was a quirk with XZ, at least the older ones, in that it didn't fully support multicore. It wasn't multithreaded. I don't know if they did something about that or worked around by splitting data into two chunks. But my i5 8 core, even though it's not a powerhouse now, is considerably faster than my PA6T but seemed on par when compressing XZ. XZ requires power to compress, but decompresses quickly. Opposite to GZ it looks.

Seems strange. I'm sure my Fienix can even even unpack XZ. I just tested Precise and the Archiver loads it in fine.
