AMDGPU support is already included in our kernel 4.7 but I have to figure out how I can enable it. Thank you for the hint and thank you for testing the RC5 kernels.Srtest wrote:I used the first 2 rc5 kernels with both boot patches and both worked without a noticeable difference.
Just a reminder: there is a possibility of the next kernel having amdgpu for GCN 1.0 without being enabled by default. Maybe you will be able to enable it for us so we can test if it fixes anything.

Re: Kernel 4.7
Hi all,
Darren's second patch is in the latest PowerPC update (powerpc-4.7-5 commit). That means Darren's second patch is in the official kernel source code now.
I am looking forward to compiling the RC6 tomorrow.
Cheers,
Christian

Re: Kernel 4.7
Hi all,
I compiled the RC6 today and it boots.
Darren's source code works in the Linux kernel . Many thanks to Darren for his work.
Download: vmlinux-4.7-rc6-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.gz
By the way, I was able to update Firefox to version 47 on openSUSE Tumbleweed PPC64.
Have a nice week!
Cheers,
Christian

Re: Kernel 4.7
Works good on Mint 11.
My HD with Deb8 and Suse crashed so I don't know about them. I will do a Deb8 base system install so I have access to gcc-4.9 to see if I can build/play with a few changes. I will let you know.
