I released the alpha2 today. I cross compiled it from the git today.

New:
I had to create a new patch for the file probe.c because of code changes.

Code: Select all

@@ -1645,11 +1649,14 @@ static int only_one_child(struct pci_bus
 
 	if (!parent || !pci_is_pcie(parent))
 		return 0;

 }
Download: vmlinux-4.2-alpha2-AMIGA_one_X1000.tar.bz2

PLEASE test the alpha2. Thanks in advance.

I have bad news. The kernel developers have rewritten the PCI part of the kernel. In my point of view is that the reason why the kernel 4.2 doesn't boot.

No of the 4.2 kernels work with Mate 15.04, Mate 15.10 or Debian 8
Kernel panic

All,

I compiled the kernel 4.2 from git on my A1-X1000 yesterday. Unfortunately our problem increases a bit. CFE can't boot the kernel 4.2 anymore. In my point of view there is another problem. It means there are two problems currently. First of all the problem with the new PCI code and then the new problem with booting from the CFE firmware.

Nice weekend.

Rgds,

Christian

Xeno, I recently installed 15.10 development and at first I always had kernel panic, because for me at least it added a prompt in the net boot installation that says I need to choose the right kernel image which is then stored on the distribution installation. After a couple of tries I picked the correct kernel image and it booted normally notwithstanding, of course, the regular issues.

Disregard this, tested alpha 2 and no go.
