Kernel 5.15 rc1 up and running fine on my AmigaOne X5000
FYI
My normal speed is around 600 / 40 Mbit (as shown in the screenshot)
With the X5000 DPAA on the CLI 300+ mbit is not a problem (see Speedtest-cli output) . Using a browser...the speed is always capped with a max of 100Mbit.
Hi Skateman,
Thanks a lot for testing the RC1 and thanks for reporting your speed results. I have to use the unplug/replug trick to get a connection via the DPAA onboard ethernet so I prefer my Realtek PCI network card.
Cheers,
Christian

FYI because of the issues with the new NTFS3 driver by Paragon Software:
I wrote:
Hello Konstantin,
Is the new driver compatible with big endian systems? (byte order)
If I format a partition with NTFS [1], then I can mount it afterwards with the new NTFS driver. I can also create a file and access it with an editor. But I can’t list the files on this partition because the new driver can’t read the hidden ”.” file. After a umount of this partition, it isn't possible
to mount it again. [2]
Please find attached the kernel config.
Further information:

[1] sudo mkfs -t ntfs /dev/sdc3
[2] wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc3, missing codepage or helper program ...

I can't imagine how I missed the RC3 notice yesterday, but I saw it this morning and I'm running it now.
I hope the bonus I got with RC2 will survive into RC3. For many months when I have Shutdown/Reset Fienix, I have met with a 90 second wait for a Stop job running for User ID 1000, or something like that, roughly 19 times out of 20. Since I started booting with 5.15 RC2 that has happened only twice! I wonder why. But I sure like it!

Hi All,
I successfully tested the
RC3 of kernel
5.15 with
Void PPC in a virtual e5500 QEMU machine today.
Void starts very fast because of the runit init system in this virtual machine.
QEMU command:
Code: Select all
qemu-system-ppc64 -M ppce500 -cpu e5500 -m 2048 -kernel uImage-5.15 -drive format=raw,file=void-live-powerpc-20210822.img,index=0,if=virtio -netdev user,id=mynet0 -device virtio-net,netdev=mynet0 -append "rw root=/dev/vda2" -device virtio-vga -device virtio-mouse-pci -device virtio-keyboard-pci -smp 4
Screenshot:
Please test the
RC3.
Thanks,
Christian
