Hello,

I am doing the tests under kernel 5.15.1 with my Radeon R7 250X card and see that the Arcticfox drop-down menus are transparent. So I change my graphic card and note this time that I no longer boot. When rebooting I sometimes have LED 9 flashing (MCU1).

I'm sorry, but I cannot do the tests with the proper rigor, because I am taken elsewhere. So I'm not sure that these anomalies are the product of this kernel version :? .

So I noticed two anomalies: menu transparency and UBoot with the HD6970 graphics card. An idea ?

Unfortunately no because I also tested the stable longterm kernel 5.15.1 with my Radeon HD6970 and I don't have such issues. I think it is more a hardware issue.

FYI because of the issue with the VirtIO GPU in virtual e5500 QEMU machines:

Hi All,

The alpha4 and the alpha5 of kernel 5.16 are available for testing.

The alpha4 doesn't boot on the X5000 because of an issue in the PowerPC updates 5.16-1. The X1000 and the virtual e5500 QEMU machine boots with this kernel.

The alpha5 of kernel 5.16 boots on the X5000 and in a virtual e5500 QEMU machine. This version has been patched with the new fsl_booke patch.

New:
Download alpha4 for the X1000 and for the virtual e5500 QEMU machine: linux-image-5.16-alpha4-X1000_X5000.tar.gz

Download alpha5 for the X5000 and for the virtual e5500 QEMU machine: linux-image-5.16-alpha5-X1000_X5000.tar.gz

Please test the kernels.

Thanks,
Christian

5.16.0-a6 works with no obvious problems. Won't I ever get a chance to complain?
