FYI: KVM-PR no longer works when compiled with new GCC compilers

Hi All,

I compiled the alpha2 of kernel 6.18 for X1000 and e5500 machines (X5000/20, X5000/40, Mirari, and QEMU VMs) today.

Hi All,

I have released the alpha6 of kernel 6.18.

Unfortunately, there are PCI issues so the kernel has boot problems.

Further information: Boot problems after the pci-v6.18-changes #17

I reported this issue to the kernel developers yesterday.

Hi All,

We found the problematic commit that causes boot problems on my X1000 and X5000.

I released the alpha7 of kernel 6.18 today.

The vmlinux-6.18, zImage-6.18 and uImage-6.18 are with the problematic commit.

The vmlinux-6.18-2, zImage-6.18-2 and uImage-6.18-2 are without the problematic commit.

Please test one kernel with and one kernel without the problematic commit.

Thanks,
Christian

Hi All,
