The RC1 will soon be upon us.

Yes, the RC1 is on the way.

Hi All,

The merge window is over. Linus Torvalds has released the RC1 of kernel 6.19 for testing.

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

Download and further information: github.com





Please test the kernels.

Thanks,
Christian

So tested the RC1 on MATE and Debian this time. See no issues. Kernel working at normal capacity.

Hi All,

Hi All,

Christophe Leroy has released a patch because of the e5500 boot issue #18. We no longer need the revert patch.

This time, I compiled the RC1 of kernel 6.19 with Christophe's patch in a new Docker container, and my X5000 boots without any problems.

Please test the kernels.

Thanks,

Merry Christmas.

So tested long-term 6.12.62 on Xenial, 6.19 RC1 on Mate and Debian, and now currently 6.19 RC2 on Debian. All looks good on all kernels. X1000 builds are working well.
