BTW, I created a new PowerPC cross compiling environment on ubuntu MATE 18.04.2 LTS x86_64 (GCC 7.4.0) three days ago. This kernel has been compiled with this new cross compiling environment.

@SailorMH
Please test it with your CF cards.

@Ace
Please test the default kernel (uImage-5.2) with your two installed graphics cards and the additional test kernel (uImage-hid4) with your Logitech wireless USB mouse.
