Kernel 5.8

Kernel 5.8 RC3 running fine on the AmigaOne X5000

Many thanks for testing! We still need the dpaa patch because the kernel developers haven’t fixed the dpaa issue yet.

I don't know what dpaa is (Bing doesn't want to tell me), but could it have anything to do with the fact that when I boot with Kernel 5.8 RC3 instead of 5.5 I get a bunch of

Code: Select all

Ethernet Network ()
disconnected
Ethernet Network ()
disconnected
Ethernet Network ()

down the page when I click on the internet up-down arrows?

@kilaueabart

Yes, that's correct. It's the onboard ethernet.

Bing, huh?

Using another search machine (in this case Google) brought me to this - after a WikiPedia disambiguation page:

Bing might very well have shown me something like that, but in my current mental condition that doesn't tell me anything either.

Well, I can't say I understand every aspect of it either, but the gist I got from it is that it's an architecture for some of the contents of the SoC (System on a Chip) which is the heart of the X5000, so in this case it tells us that we're talking about the network controller which is integrated in the chip (as opposed to a separate PCI network card).

Best regards,
