5.19-6[/url] (Re-enable the new amdgpu display engine for powerpc, as long as the compiler is correctly configured)

Cheers,

This is the last note about amdgpu what I found.
Please, is in last kernels amdgpu for powerpc big endian still supported ?
And tested anybody if is better/faster/whatever compares to radeon with supported cards ?

I want to test Southern/Sea Island ( CGN1/2 ) cards support.

I am sorry, I don't use the amdgpu kernel driver so I don't have any experiences with it. I use the radeon kernel driver. Our kernels don't have amdgpu support.

Sorry

Thank you, it is OK. I just wanted to know the state of drivers. If there will be both drivers, I will test which is more suitable for CGN1+2. In this case it is easier.
After proper adjustment on my primary card ( southern island ) I will add second one, ( northern island ) and all will works with radeon only.

Hi All,

The merge window has been closed and I am happy to announce the RC1 of kernel 6.4 for testing.

New:

There are some issues with the BTTV driver for TV cards so we added the new BTTV driver originally planned for the kernel 6.5 to our kernel 6.4. This new driver works without any problems with the BTTV TV cards.

More news:

• Linux 6.4-rc1 Released With Intel LAM, Several New AMD Features, More Rust Code & Early Apple M2 -- phoronix.com
• X1000: nemo_boot_v2.patch because of the boot issue (Thanks to Rob Herring)
• Sound fixes (including HD-audio, USB-audio, and emu10k1 fixes)
• Networking fixes
• Linux Git log
• Phoronix articles, reviews and news stories covering Linux 6.4

Many thanks to Musa (Peter) for the nice wallpaper.

Please test the kernels.

Thanks,

Fantastic! Thanks a lot for testing!

Booting with an initial ramdisk works with the kernel 6.4.

1. Code: Select all

   CFE> setenv bootargs "root=LABEL=void"

2. Code: Select all

   CFE> ramdisk -z -addr=0x24000000 -fatfs cf0:initrd-5.10.img

3. Code: Select all

   CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs -z cf0:zImage-6.4

Another attempt:

1. Code: Select all

   bash-5.1# tune2fs -L DEBIAN /dev/sdb6

2. Code: Select all

   CFE> setenv bootargs "root=LABEL=DEBIAN"

3. Code: Select all

   CFE> ramdisk -z -addr=0x24000000 -fatfs cf0:initrd-5.10.img

4. Code: Select all

   CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs -z cf0:zImage-6.4

Another attempt with the not compressed vmlinux kernel image:

1. Code: Select all

   CFE> setenv bootargs "root=LABEL=DEBIAN"

2. Code: Select all

   CFE> ramdisk -z -addr=0x24000000 -fatfs cf0:initrd-5.10.img

3. Code: Select all

   CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:vmlinux-6.4

You can use the initial ramdisk from the kernel 5.10 package.
