Kernel 6.15 Alpha6 up and running on my e5500 x4 PPC Computer

I downloaded the Kernel 6.15 Alpha6 archive to Adelie, but again Engrampa de-archives it as an empty 0-byte file named "/home/live/Downloads/linux-image-6.15.0-alpha6-X1000_e5500." So I took care of it from Fienix again. Back to Adelie, and its System Monitor says it's getting along fine with the new Kernel.

Many thanks for testing the alpha6!

I have the same issue with Engrampa but unpacking via shell works.

Thanks a lot for testing!

The alpha6 of kernel 6.15 with the improved NTFS3 driver:

Hi All,

The merge window is over. Linus Torvalds has released the RC1 of kernel 6.15 for testing.

I compiled it for our machines today.

Download and further information: github.com

Please test the kernels.

Thanks,
Christian

It looks like Kernel 6 R1 6.15 RC1 is going to be one of those things that work on my cranky machine. Apparently that bit about "You may also attach files by dragging and dropping them in the message box" is not one of them. I tried the original of the above .png a few times and the browser just vanishes.

Great, that it works on your X5000/20! Many thanks for testing.

SeaLion and BrassMonkey work on Adélie but not reliably. I don’t know why SeaLion and BrassMonkey crash on Adélie sometimes.

uBlock Origin reduces the crashes.

Hi All,

I am pleased to announce the stable long-term kernel 6.12.22 with many improvements and fixes.

New:

• X1000: ABIv2 kernels (CONFIG_PPC64_BIG_ENDIAN_ELF_ABI_V2)
• X1000 and e5500: CONFIG_LEDS_CLASS_MULTICOLOR=y for Logitech devices (HID_LOGITECH)
• X1000: Support for Logitech receivers and devices (CONFIG_HID_LOGITECH_DJ=m)
• X1000: User namespaces (CONFIG_USER_NS=y). They allow unprivileged user code access to call kernel code that was historically restricted to root. This is already activated in the e5500 kernel config.
• X1000 and e5500: PlayStation HID Driver (CONFIG_HID_PLAYSTATION=m)
• Radeon fix
• Linux Git log
• Phoronix articles, reviews and news stories covering Linux 6.12

Download: github.com

Alternative download link: linux-image-6.12.22-X1000_e5500.tar.gz



Cheers,

Christian

I successfully tested the stable long-term kernel 6.12.22 with the MATE PowerPC Remix today.
