I was able to revert the PowerPC updates
6.4-1 with the following command:
Code: Select all
git revert 70cc1b5307e8ee3076fdf2ecbeb89eb973aa0ff7 -m 1
After re-compiling, the kernel boots without any problems on my X1000.
Maybe the modifications in the file
head_64.S are the problem. This file is responsible for the early boot phase.

I replaced the
head_64.S with the one from the final kernel 6.3. Unfortunately it doesn't boot.
The kernel hangs right after the booting Linux via __start() @ 0x0000000000000000 ...

I will revert the modifications in the directory a/arch/powerpc/kernel. Maybe there is the issue.

It compiles if I add the following 2 files from the kernel 6.4:
- a/arch/powerpc/kernel/smp.c
- a/arch/powerpc/kernel/sysfs.c
But it doesn't boot.

You are reverting the entire powerpc changes, that's helpless.
Can you do a bisect ?
Thanks
