Hi All,
I released the
RC7 of kernel
6.0 for testing today.
New:
Download:
linux-image-6.0-rc7-X1000_X5000.tar.gz
Issue: There are some issues with KVM (HV + PR) if you use the kernels compiled with
GCC 11.2.0 so I compiled the kernels with
GCC 9.4.0 again.
Please also use them if you have other issues with the GCC 11.2.0 compiled kernels.
I will compile the
final kernel
6.0 with
GCC 9.4.0.
Downloads:
Please test the kernels.
Thanks,
Christian

I changed the GCC to version
9.4.0 because of the issues with KVM on Linux PPC today. (Cross compiling environment on Ubuntu 22.04.1)

Hi All,
I successfully compiled the alpha3 with the first PowerPC updates yesterday.
Unfortunately this kernel is really dangerous. Many things for example Network Manager and LightDM don't work anymore and produced several gigabyte of config files till the partition has been filled.
I deleted some files like the resolv.conf that had a size over 200 GB!
Unfortunately, MintPPC was still damaged. For example LightDM doesn't work anymore and the MATE desktop doesn't display any icons anymore because Caja wasn't able to reserve memory anymore.
In this case, bisecting isn't an option and I have to wait some weeks. It is really difficult to find the issue if the userland will damaged again and again.
Cheers,
Christian
