@Roland
Could you please test this kernel with the compressed kernel modules on your X5000?

Thanks,
Christian

Does the kernel 5.10.232 work for you? Please test it.

Hi All,

I released the new stable long-term kernel 5.10.234 today.

New:

e5500: Support for the Renesas xHCI controller with firmware

Download: github.com

Alternative download link: linux-image-5.10.234-X1000_e5500.tar.gz

These kernels use XZ compressed kernel modules (CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS=y and CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS_XZ=y). Please test the kernel modules.

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.



Please test the kernels.

Thanks,
Christian

• v6.14.0-rc2

Hi All,

I released the RC3 of kernel 6.14 today.

Download and further information: github.com

Alternative download link: linux-image-6.14.0-rc3-X1000_e5500.tar.gz (xenosoft.de)



@Roland
Please test the RC3 because of the NEC Renesas USB chip driver improvements.

Thanks,
Christian

Unfortunately I do not have anymore hardware with the Renesas chip... I sold my USB card some times ago.

Instead, I tested the 5.10.234. It seems work ok. Thanks! But I cannot verify whether the kernel modules work as my SoundBlaster Live! card works without them (as it always has with 5.10.xxx kernels).

Hi Roland,

Thanks a lot for testing the kernel 5.10.234.

You can look with lsmod if some kernel modules are loaded.

Cheers,
Christian
