Kernel 4.2

[xeno74]

I released the alpha2 today. I cross compiled it from the git today.

New:

• A lot of PowerPC updates for 4.2
• Nemo patch 4.2-2

I had to create a new patch for the file probe.c because of code changes.

Code: Select all

PLEASE test the alpha2. Thanks in advance.

I have bad news. The kernel developers have rewritten the PCI part of the kernel. In my point of view is that the reason why the kernel 4.2 doesn't boot.

Another attempt: vmlinux-4.2-alpha2-2-AMIGA_one_X1000.tar.bz2

Could you please test it again?

No of the 4.2 kernels work with Mate 15.04, Mate 15.10 or Debian 8
Kernel panic

OK, thank you for testing.

All,

I compiled the kernel 4.2 from git on my A1-X1000 yesterday. Unfortunately our problem increases a bit. CFE can't boot the kernel 4.2 anymore. In my point of view there is another problem. It means there are two problems currently. First of all the problem with the new PCI code and then the new problem with booting from the CFE firmware.

Nice weekend.

Rgds,

Christian

Xeno, I recently installed 15.10 development and at first I always had kernel panic, because for me at least it added a prompt in the net boot installation that says I need to choose the right kernel image which is then stored on the distribution installation. After a couple of tries I picked the correct kernel image and it booted normally notwithstanding, of course, the regular issues.

Disregard this, tested alpha 2 and no go.

I cross compiled the latest git version of kernel 4.2 today. Could you please test if this kernel boots?

vmlinux-git-02_July_2015.tar.bz2

Thanks in advance.
