Hi All,

I released the second alpha of kernel 6.3 for the X1000 and X5000 today.

New:

• DRM updates
  Including Radeon updates:
  • Switch 1 element arrays to flexible arrays
  • Fix memory leak on shutdown
  • move to new logging
  Including VirtIO GPU update:
  • improve tracing
• XFS updates
• NFSd updates
• NFS client updates
• SCSI updates (including SAS mpt3sas fix)
• Sound updates
• Linux Git log
• Phoronix articles, reviews and news stories covering Linux 6.3

Download: linux-image-6.3-alpha2-X1000_X5000.tar.gz

X5000 users: Please Note: If you use an uInitrd for example for booting with a LABEL, then load the dtb file to the address 1d00000. The kernel has grown in recent months so the address 1c00000 is used by the uImage. Before we have loaded the dtb to the address 1c00000.

X5000> bootm 1000000 2000000 1d00000



Please test the kernels.

Thanks,
Christian

I had to manually set my network negotiation speed to 1GB Full to get the DPAA up using Fienix

Hi Skateman,

Thanks a lot for testing the alpha2. Do you need to manually set the network negotiation speed to 1GB Full on Void PPC too?

Thanks,
Christian

No i dont! And also on the previous versionss of the kernel with Fienix this was not needed.
