Could you please test both RC3 kernels because of the new
Apple-M1-support-to-PASemi-i2c-driver patch on your X1000?

Done! Tested all three RC kernels now. The RC3 kernel boots! Seems to be working fine here in my browser. What other tests can I do to confirm I2C is working?

Have you also tested the extra kernel in the separate folder? This kernel has the new i2c modifications.

You can compare the default RC3 with the modified RC3 with the command “dmesg | grep i2c“.

Yes! Please verify this kernel I'm running now.
Code: Select all
Linux Fienix 5.15.0-rc3_A-EON_X1000_Nemo-00330-g0d8385b378c1-dirty #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Sep 27 16:51:03 CEST 2021 ppc64 GNU/Linux
I did notice a glitch though, but only in the standard RC3. It seemed to have trouble finding my SATA drives then dropped to a panic after not finding boot device. I haven't seen it in a while but I wonder if it reordered the devices so the boot drive wasn't found. This is why I prefer ramdisk for UUID as I never know when the drive order changes. I went to boot my other Fienix with a ramdisk but it was too large I found when it dropped back to CFE. I then tried to boot the broke one again and this time it booted fine.
I'll give the "dirty" RC3 a fresh boot test later on. I loaded it up after installing it. But it wasn't a "clean" boot as I rebooted into the latest RC3.

Here goes:
Code: Select all
dmesg | grep i2c

Fantastic! Thank you!
Do you have the same output with both kernels?

Yes, this is the RC3 with the new i2c modifications! That means it works and I can report the good result to the kernel developer Sven.
