The Linux kernel 4.6 alpha5 is available for testing.

New:
Download: vmlinux-4.6-alpha5-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.gz

Note: If you want to compile the kernel, then you have to patch the kernel source code with the Nemo patch. For the PR KVM support you have to patch the kernel source code with the kvm-pr patch additionally.

I successfully tested the new PR KVM with a virtual Power Mac G3 machine today.

Please test the alpha5.

Rgds,

Christian
