Hi All,

Here is the RC4 of kernel 6.19 for X1000 and e5500 machines (X5000/20, X5000/40, Mirari, and QEMU VMs).

Could you please test this kernel because of the new cross-compiling environment in a Docker container?

@Mirari users
Please test the USB3.0 Renesas controller because of the firmware file from the git. I hope, I have uploaded the correct firmware to the git.

Download and further information: github.com

Thanks,
Christian

Hi All,

Yesterday, I compiled a Linux PowerPC kernel in a Kubernetes pod for the first time. :-)

Here is the stable long-term kernel 6.12.64 from this pod.
