Testing the 6.12 LTS on Debian and all looks good so far.

Thanks a lot for testing!

Hi All,

I released the RC7 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

Hi All,

Weekend test

Here is the stable long-term kernel 6.12.48 with support for a low-latency desktop. (CONFIG_PREEMPT=y)

Testing now on Debian and looks good so far. Need to do some desktop testing. So I can see where it would make a difference.

Hi All,

Here is the RC4 of kernel 6.17 for X1000 and e5500 machines (X5000/20, X5000/40, Mirari, and QEMU VMs).

Download and further information: github.com

Please test the kernels.

Thanks,
Christian

FYI: KVM-PR doesn't work anymore since the RC4 of kernel 6.17.

Edit: I changed the compiling environment from SUSE to Ubuntu and KVM-PR works again.

X1000 defconfig diff between SUSE and Ubuntu: github.com

Hi All,

The merge window for the kernel 6.18 has been started and here is the first alpha with the first PowerPC updates for testing.

Download and further information: github.com



For X1000 users: KVM-PR does not work when I compile the kernel with SUSE. If you need KVM-PR, use the KVM-PR kernel package for the X1000 that I built with Ubuntu.

Please test the kernels.

Thanks,
Christian

Testing and working well so far on MATE. I did notice these errors in the journal. Seem harmless enough.

For X1000 users: KVM-PR does not work when I compile the kernel with SUSE. If you need KVM-PR, use the KVM-PR kernel package for the X1000 that I built with Ubuntu.

Oh dear. Well I haven't been using it lately. Should do some testing with it.

I'll get onto the latest alpha next.
