New kernels

[xeno74]

Hi All,
 
I have compiled the stable long-term kernel 6.12.17.
 
Download: github.com

KVM HV for the X5000 doesn’t compile currently. I reported it already to the kernel developers.

Link: [Kernel 6.12.17] [PowerPC e5500] KVM HV compilation error
 
Thanks,
Christian

Okay here we go:

Great result:

Code: Select all

io-bridge@0 {
			#interrupt-cells = <0x1>;
			#size-cells = <0x2>;
			#address-cells = <0x3>;
			device_type = "isa";
			vendor-id = <0x1959>;
			device-id = <0xa001>;
			revision-id = <0x12>;
			class-code = <0x60000>;
			reg = <0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x82000000 0x0 0xe0000000 0x0 0x2000 0xc2000000 0x0 0xfd800000 0x0 0x1000>;
			assigned-addresses = <0x82000000 0x0 0xe0000000 0x0 0x2000 0xc2000000 0x0 0xfd800000 0x0 0x1000>;
			interrupt-parent = <0x7fe2f6e8>;
			interrupts = <0x56 0x1>;
			compatible = "pasemi,1682m-iob", "pasemi,io-bridge";
			phandle = <0x7fe32728>;

Please, what is point of interest in io-bridge? I am not expert in this low-level, I am just curious.

On weekend I will backyp Debian, will made upgrade + install dtc

I am looking forward to your test results. But be careful when updating.

I try look on debian mailing-list if there is some snapshot better than others.

Yes, the sun is shining here too.

Many thanks for testing.

Great result:

Thanks! Yes it works. I do wonder if this is the result of changing the device type to isa in Nemo tree patches and so the tree walker expects an isa bridge to have these parent cell properties already.

I'm also wondering, if there is a way to find what kernels are compatible with a Linux install? I tried to look it up online but all I got was custom kernels and installing the kernel image package. That doesn't tell me how to find what Linux is compatible with what kernels. For example, I know from testing that Ubuntu Precise is compatible with a 5.x kernel but breaks with a 6.x kernel. But is there a way to examine any config files or others on a root filesystem to find out what kernel releases are compatible?

Hi All,
 
I have compiled the stable long-term kernel 6.12.17.

Hello again. I've found an incompatibility with MATE 2017. I get errors with a libz not opening and then it ends up in a panic.

Good to know.

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