Hi All,

I created a new cross compiling environment in an Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS x86_64 Docker container for the X5000 and X1000 today.

Could you please test this cross compiled kernel on your AmigaOne X1000 and X5000? I'd like to know if it works.

I was uneasy about this, because I haven't booted Ubuntu in quite a while and have no idea what Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS x86_64 Docker might mean, but the 5.17 RC5 kernel is working on my void.

Docker containers are bundle their own software, libraries and configuration files so it’s independent from the host system. You can use a software which it doesn’t run in the host system. But it uses the Linux kernel from the host system so it is faster than a virtual QEMU machine. You can pull an image of an application or a whole Linux userland for a container.
I use it for compiling Linux PowerPC kernels on a fast x86_64 server. I can backup the container and use it on another server.

but the 5.17 RC5 kernel is working on my void.

Great! Thanks a lot for testing!
