Hi All,
I released the
RC3-3 of kernel
5.1 last week. This kernel was a
RC3 with a lot of Git updates. That means, it didn't make any sense to release the
RC4 because the
RC3-3 has already included a lot of updates from the
RC4.
Today, I released the
RC5 of kernel
5.1 including
all RC4 updates.
New:
It also includes:
- X1000: compressed kernel (zImage) and uncompressed kernel (vmlinux)
Issues:
- X1000: There are some issues with new CF cards if you connected one of these to the onboard CompactFlash Card Slot. Note: The CompactFlash (CF) card slot is wired to the CPU local bus. It is typically used to hold the Linux kernels and initial ramdisks. If you want to use a new CF card then please use the stable kernel 4.20.16. Link to the test thread: Fienix - New PowerPC Distro
- X5000: Initialization and use of secondary graphics card (FirePro 2260) does not work. Bug report: Bug 109345 - drm-next-2018-12-14 -Linux PPC. If you want to use a secondary graphics card for example a FirePro 2260 then please use the stable kernel 4.20.16.
- X5000: Network issues with the DPAA ethernet. Further information: Kernel 5.0 thread
