Good news is the patch to repair that problem was included in the 3.18.38 source so the 3.18 series is back on track for the X1000.

Re: Kernel 3.18 Tinkering
The 3.18.37 kernel had the problem in prom.c (transactional memory) which prevented it from booting.

Re: Kernel 3.18 Tinkering
Just playing around.
I built 3.18.38 with gcc4.9 (Debian 8.5) and it does boot Debian 8.5 and also Debian 9.
Unfortunetly, it does not crank up Gnome 3 on Deb 9, but xfce does work.
That's enough for today.
