[xeno74]

But anyway, rc4 works in Oakland CA.

Many thanks for testing the RC4! Greetings to Oakland CA.

Hi All,

I released the stable longterm kernel 5.10.224 today.

New:

• Fixed issue #3 - Driver for X5000 Ethernet PHY is missing
• NFS v4 support
• Linux git log

Download: github.com

Alternative download link: linux-image-5.10.224-X1000_X5000.tar.gz (xenosoft.de)

This kernel has been patched with the dpaa-v2.patch because of an issue with DPAA on Ubuntu 16.04.

It's suitable for old Linux distributions which don't work with the latest kernels for example Ubuntu 10.04.
It's also suitable if you have some issues with the latest kernels.

@Roland
Could you please test this kernel? I want to make sure that it works for you.
Please also test the DPAA Ethernet because of the fix above.

@All
Please test it. I want to know, if it boots because of the bigger size.

Thanks,
Christian

Works ok here! And also the DPAA ethernet . No need for the unplug-replug trick anymore.

How did you succeed to fix it?-)

dair-dc has solved this issue.

Thank you for testing.

I tested the stable long-term kernel 5.10.224 in a virtual e5500 QEMU machine yesterday:



Please test it.

Thanks

The DPAA Ethernet works great!

I successfully tested the X5000 Linux kernel 6.11-rc5 in a virtual e5500 QEMU machine yesterday:



Please test the RC5.

Thanks

The RC5 is one of the not-too-many things that work in my installation of fienix.
