In past I had problems with cfcard, both with fat and ext2. It is very often unreadable from CFE. Maybe I have to exchange my old cfcard.
Is CF more reliable than USB? I cannot get USB working from my case. It only works from my Apple keyboard if it wants to.
For me was most reliable USB stick with ext2 partition. I have in first USB port hub, where is connected keyboard and this stick.
If it not works for you, maybe you can try different hub.
Now I tested CF card again, and have problems - I formatted it under linux both fat or ext2 and under CFE it is very often unreadable. After boot to linux it works normally. So I will try to swap CF card for new one and test again.

That's a good idea to test a new CF card. My CF card works with FAT16 without any problems.

Hi
Re-installed Debian ppc64 and upgraded to trixie/sid.
Vmlinux-6.4_rc7 boots debian ppc64 without error.
Have a nice day

That makes sense. Ext2 avoids the problems of FAT in CFE that not even FAT16 can solve at times. I think this is mostly because AmigaOS4 lacks a way to unmount or cleanly update after a write. So the volume is in effect "invalidated" in a FAT sense. However, if writing from a "normal" OS still breaks, then that isn't the problem.
So I recalled, my keyboard is plugged into the rear, into the keyboard port and this tends to work well. On the front case I cannot get USB working fully. Detects a stick but it hangs there and never mounts.
Now I tested CF card again, and have problems - I formatted it under linux both fat or ext2 and under CFE it is very often unreadable. After boot to linux it works normally. So I will try to swap CF card for new one and test again.
The CF is permanent in the slot. Well unless you have an extension externally. So would expect it to be reliable but that seems touchy as well.
In any case, I only need USB in CFE for testing. Such as seeing if OS4 can boot off USB but I don't think it can at all despite reading it was done over ten years ago. For Linux I don't need CF or USB since I can boot Linux totally off HDD from a normal boot menu with my X1 manager.

Hi All,
Here is the
final kernel
6.4. Thanks a lot to Skateman, Musa, sailorMH, Hypex and Trevor for testing the alphas and release candidates.
New and important for our AmigaOnes:
- X1000, X5000, and QEMU e5500: Multi-Gen LRU support (CONFIG_LRU_GEN=y and CONFIG_LRU_GEN_ENABLED=y)
- PASEMI updates in the PowerPC updates
- PASEMI ethernet and DPAA updates in the networking updates
- 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.
- X1000: Fix ISA mapping when "ranges" property is not present, for PASemi Nemo boards
More news:
Download:
linux-image-6.4-X1000_X5000.tar.gz
Cheers,
Christian

The alpha1 of kernel 6.5 can't read the Amiga partition table via the rigid disk block (RDB) correctly anymore so it isn't possible to mount a Linux partition from a disk with an Amiga partition table. The kernel 6.4 doesn't have this issue.
