Final kernel 6.8 Up and Running on my AmigaOne X5000

Great! Thanks a lot for testing!

I tested the alphas of kernel 6.9 currently but unfortunately these are not booting at the moment on the X5000. The kernel has become too large and therefore cannot be booted.
I have downsized the kernel and moved some drivers to modules, but there is another issue when switching to the framebuffer boot console.

We can start bisecting if you like.

I would like to, but i dont have a lot of time at the moment....

It's OK. Never mind.

I tried to compile the RC1 of kernel 6.9 today but without any success.

I removed USB4/Thunderbolt support and it compiles but I get another error message:

Unfortunately it is not possible to compile the kernel currently.

I reverted the last PowerPC updates 6.9-2 and after that it compiles:

Code: Select all

git revert 484193fecd2b6349a6fd1554d306aec646ae1a6a -m 1

Result:

I reported this issue to the kernel developers today.
