I see... But I have the same issue as Skateman - no audiodriver (SoundBlaster Live!). 'lsmod' does not find anything.

I tested it on Adélie Linux as well and it also works.

Please try to load the NTFS3 kernel module with the following command as root:
After that please post the output of lsmod.

Sometimes the computer needs a reboot after copying the kernel modules directory to /lib/modules.

Please also post the output of

ls -l /lib/modules/6.12.17-powerpc64-smp/kernel/fs/ntfs3/ntfs3.ko.zst

On my Adélie:
Please also test the md5sum of the downloaded package.

Strange, the kernel modules for the kernel 6.12.17 are working here:

Yesterday, I tested it with Void PPC in a virtual e5500 QEMU VM. Today, I successfully tested the kernel modules with Void PPC on my X5000/40. It is really strange, that the kernel modules don't work on your machine with Void PPC.

Maybe the download from github wasn't ok. I uploaded it to Xenosoft today.

Download link: linux-image-6.12.17-X1000_e5500.tar.gz

md5sum: 3c8952f4a85457256533d056401355fd

I also tested the zstd compressed kernel modules with ubuntu MATE 16.04.7 but they don't work there.

I will remove the support for zstd compressed kernel modules from the next kernel 6.12 (6.12.18).

I redownloaded the modules from xenosoft, but they still did not work. But when I checked them, they WERE all in .zst format! So you did NOT abandon that format yet...? I must have misunderstood something...

Which Linux distribution do you use?

I will remove the support for zstd compressed kernel modules from the next kernel 6.12 (6.12.18).

MintPPC. And as I already explained when testing the previous version, installing the unpacker would need too much changes to the other components of the OS.

Fine!

Hi All,

Here is the RC6 of kernel 6.14 for the X1000 and X5000.

Download and further information: github.com

Please test the kernels.

Thanks,
Christian

Kernel 6.14 RC6 up and running on my e5500 x4 Computer!

Great! Thank you for testing!

@All
FYI:

• Kernel 6.12.17: e5500: KVM HV compilation error #6
• Old Linux distributions: Issue with compressed kernel modules #7

Workaround if you have issues with compressed kernel modules:

For example for the stable long-term kernel 5.10.234 with the MATE PowerPC Remix 2017:

1. Code: Select all

   find /lib/modules/5.10.234-powerpc64-smp -name "*.xz" -exec unxz {} \;

2. Code: Select all

   depmod
