Re: New kernels
Posted: Fri Dec 26, 2025 4:52 pm
Hi All,
I have released the stable long-term kernel 5.10.247 for X1000 and e5500 machines (X5000/20, X5000/40, Mirari, and QEMU VMs).
It seems that it is faster than the latest kernels 6.12 and 6.19.
X5000/40, Radeon HD6870 and Void PPC with kernel 5.10.247: glmark2 Score: 4174
X5000/40, Radeon HD6870 and Void PPC with kernel 6.12.62: glmark2 Score: 3549
X5000/40, Radeon HD6870 and Void PPC with kernel 6.19.0-rc2: glmark2 Score: 3600
It's suitable for old Linux distributions which don't work with the latest kernels for example Ubuntu 10.04.
It's also suitable if you have some issues with the latest kernels.
Download and further information: github.com

Please test the kernel.
Thanks,
Christian
