New kernels

[xeno74]

Hi All,

I released the RC3 of kernel 6.17 for X1000 and e5500 machines (X5000/20, X5000/40, Mirari, and QEMU VMs) today.

Download and further information: github.com



Please test the kernels.

Thanks,
Christian

So have tested 6.17 RC3 on both Fienix and Zesty. Working fine as tested. There are the common i2c messages in logs but these look to be permanent now.

Thank you for testing.

Permanent? Do you also have these messages again and again after booting?

No. Just during boot around the 4 second mark and one final "gasp for air" at the 19 second mark issuing a reset. By permanent I mean as part of the boot process with all these distracting lines about attempting to reset the bus.

So tested the 6.17 RC4 on Zesty and Mint. Working fine as can I see. Typing this from Mint install.

One other thing I have noticed is this being common:

Code: Select all

[    0.316045] OF: /localbus@f0000000/cf@1000000: could not find phandle 14
[    0.316069] OF: /localbus@f0000000/cf@1000000: could not find phandle 1
[    0.316086] OF: /localbus@f0000000/cf@1000000: could not find phandle 10
[    0.316103] OF: /localbus@f0000000/cf@1000000: could not find phandle 11

Is this a reference to the CF card? I'm going by the "cf" so not sure. I don't have any CF card installed in my slot so wonder if the inability to find these handles is because I have no CF card installed.

Hi Hypex,

Many thanks for testing the RC4.

I see the same OF localbus CF messages but my CF card works without any problems.

Ok, thanks. Must be normal then. Looks like it relates to a missing item pointer in the device tree. Which shouldn't be the case. But seems harmless otherwise. Since CF card driver works.
