Hi All,

The merge window is over. Linus Torvalds has released the RC1 of kernel 6.18 for testing.

I have compiled it for X1000 and e5500 machines (X5000/20, X5000/40, Mirari, and QEMU VMs).

The kernel developers have activated the power management for all devices connected to PCI and PCI Express.
Unfortunately not all devices are working with these modifications. For example AMD Radeons HD6870 and HD5870. There are some kernels available with different patches for testing.

Kernel 6.18.0-rc1 testing:



Please test the kernels.

Thanks,
Christian

Hi. Just testing the RC1 now. Seen no issues on my X1000 system. Kernel experience stable so far as I type this.

This sounds good. Thanks for testing.

Hi All,

I have compiled the RC1-2 of kernel 6.18 for X1000 and e5500 machines (X5000/20, X5000/40, Mirari, and QEMU VMs) without the power management for PCI and PCI Express (CONFIG_PCIEASPM and CONFIG_PCIEASPM_DEFAULT).

Disabling both kernel options resolved the boot and performance issues.

Please test the kernels.
