New kernels

[xeno74]

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

...

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

I'll get onto the latest alpha next.

Thank you for testing!

I reported the issue to the kernel developers today:

KVM-PR no longer works when compiled with new GCC compilers

Hi All,

I compiled the alpha2 of kernel 6.18 for X1000 and e5500 machines (X5000/20, X5000/40, Mirari, and QEMU VMs) today.

Please test the kernels.

Thanks,

So tested kernels alpha 1 and 2 on Mate and Mint. Including KVM patch. So far so good. Now installing alpha 3 and onto that next.

These alphas are coming in so fast there won't be any space for the RCs.

So have tested alphas 3 and 4 between MATE and Mint. So far they have been very stable with no major problems. All alphas so far running well and look forward to testing 5 next.

There were many changes in the kernel source code, so we needed more alpha versions for testing.

Thank you very much for testing.

There must have been many good changes.

On that note, alpha 5 continues the trend, also booting up well on Mate and Mint.
