Hi All,

Here is the RC1 of kernel 6.3 for testing.

The merge window period was quiet because we didn't have to bisect and patch the source code.

New:

• Linux 6.3-rc1 Brings File-System Optimizations, HID-BPF, More Intel & AMD Features -- phoronix.com
• Linux 6.3 Features: AMD Auto IBRS To Steam Deck Controller Interface, IPv4 BIG TCP & More -- phoronix.com
• 6.3-rc1 announcement
• PowerPC fixes 6.3-2
• i2c: Disable I2C_APPLE when I2C_PASEMI is a builtin
• Linux Git log
• Phoronix articles, reviews and news stories covering Linux 6.3

Download: linux-image-6.3-rc1-X1000_X5000.tar.gz



Please test the kernels.

Thanks,
Christian

Kernel is not working on my X5000.

After the kernel loads this happens... https://www.skateman.nl/wp-content/uplo ... 407428.jpg

Looks like its expecting 4 cores ???? (if i can make anything out of the dump onscreen)

Hi Skateman,

Thanks a lot for testing the RC1!

Could you also please test the alpha3 with the first PowerPC updates? Maybe the issue is in the first PowerPC updates.

Thanks,
Christian

Hi Christian,

Tested Alpha4 of Kernel 6.3 and this is working ok!

Thank you for testing the alpha4.

Maybe this is the problematic commit: cpumask: re-introduce constant-sized cpumask optimizations

As the commit holds stuff like CPU_NRS etc.... and the stuff i am seeing at boot i would say Yes... this is the problematic code.

Good morning Skateman,

Could you please test the two following kernels?

• uImage-6.3-rc1-NR_CPUS_2
• uImage-6.3-rc1-FORCE_NR_CPUS_2

Thanks,
Christian

If they don't work, please delete the RC1 kernel modules and test the both kernels again.

NR_CPUS_2 is working fine!

FORCE_NR_CPUS_2 is also working fine
