Here is the alpha3 of kernel 6.15 with the first DRM updates.

Tested on Xenial, Zesty, Fienix and Debian 64 and boots fine. Is stable enough on Xenial but still wondering why it delays on boot. I don't know what the issue with systemd is. Why can't it find a partition that's already mounted?

Thank you for testing. The alpha3 and alpha4 have support for user namespaces (CONFIG_USER_NS=y).

Thanks a lot for testing! Are there also delays on boot?

Okay have tested the alpha 4 now on my four testing installs. It ran fine but was unable to reboot from Fienix. After restarting from desktop it quickly opened a terminal with a shutdown now message, but it just stopped responding. Similarly, 5.10.235 has issues rebooting as well, usually rebooting into a CFE loop.

I tested Debian Web browser again with the namespaces activated. Unfortunately it just kills the system as I expected. Screen blanks as it does a kernel panic. Crashing Radeon driver. I think my R7 250 is just too new for the latest Debian. Unless the cause is found in xorg drivers I won't be using Debian 64 for any kind of productivity.

In the meantime I solved the Xenial boot delay. It wasn't stuck on root, it was stuck on swap. I checked the UUID and it was the mount point for swap in the fstab. However, somewhere along the line it looks like I re purposed it for another Ubuntu as the UUID doesn't exist and the device now has Ubuntu. That's strange as I didn't see any issues from Precise and only with the newer kernels has Xenial been stuck on boot. I didn't pick up any swap errors in kernel logs before now.

That's one thing solved. What I am still trying to solve is why the file manager keeps trying trying to open an i386-linux-gnu library! This thing is so deep and well hidden I just cannot track it down! It's like a virus that just won't go away. I've searched the entire /usr volume for files containing i386 in either name or contents. I've searched /etc. I searched the entire root for broken links. I've looked at links. I cannot find where it's getting this x86 library from. It's driving me nuts!

Hi Musa,

Many thanks for testing the alpha5! Does your X1000 also have problems with rebooting?

Have a nice day too,

Christian

No I haven't noticed that problem.
