New kernels

[xeno74]

Hi All,

I have released the stable long-term kernel 5.10.247 for X1000 and e5500 machines (X5000/20, X5000/40, Mirari, and QEMU VMs).

It seems that it is faster than the latest kernels 6.12 and 6.19.

X5000/40, Radeon HD6870 and Void PPC with kernel 5.10.247: glmark2 Score: 4174
X5000/40, Radeon HD6870 and Void PPC with kernel 6.12.62: glmark2 Score: 3549
X5000/40, Radeon HD6870 and Void PPC with kernel 6.19.0-rc2: glmark2 Score: 3600

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 kernel.

Thanks,

Hi All,

So installed to my Precise and testing now. Working fine from what I can tell. I found zeitgeist-fts had crashed but that may be normal with the older desktops exhibiting common bugs.

Will test the 6.19 RC3 next but it may be next year before I report back.
