Hi All,

I compiled the stable longterm kernel 5.10.188 today.

New:

• block/partition: fix signedness issue for Amiga partitions (For fixing the issue with the RDB. Thanks to Michael. Please contact us if your partition on a disk with an Amiga partition table RDB doesn't mount anymore.)
• Linux git log

Download: linux-image-5.10.188-X1000_X5000.tar.gz



Cheers,

Would you believe it? I tested maybe dozens of new kernels back in the good old days, but now I don't remember what to do with the linux-image-6.5-rc5-X1000_X5000.tar.gz that I downloaded and un-gz'ed yesterday!

You can copy the uImage-6.5 to a USB stick, onboard MicroSD card, or to a FAT16 boot partition on an SSD/HDD and boot it.

For example from the onboard MicroSD card:

1. Code: Select all

   X5000> setenv bootargs root=/dev/sda6

2. Code: Select all

   X5000> fatload mmc 0:1 1000000 uImage-6.5

3. Code: Select all

   X5000> fatload mmc 0:1 2000000 cyrus-p5020.dtb

4. Code: Select all

   X5000> bootm 1000000 - 2000000

Hi All,

Trevor's X5000 doesn't shut down with the RC5.

Quick update Christian,

Fienix does not shut down the computer when I exit Fienix. The screen goes blank when I click on the power down icon bu the computer remains powered up.

Trevor

Does your X5000 shut down with the RC5?

Thanks,
Christian

I don't recall ever doing anything like that. It was much simpler. Maybe what I did today is OK.

I have a folder linux-image-6.5-rc5-X1000_X5000 on my Fienix6 Desktop. Inside that folder is another, X5000_and_QEMU_e5000 which contains three folder icons labeled dtbs, kernel_modules, and src, and a text icon labeled uImage-6.5. I grabbed that last with the cursor and moved it over the 3.0 GB Volume icon on my desktop, and said "replace" when it asked if I wanted to, and then I successfully rebooted fienix6.

But I wonder if that is all I need to do? I sort of remember doing something with content of that "kernel_modules" folder.

Good. Could you please check, if fienix6 uses the RC5 of kernel 6.5?

You don’t need the kernel modules directory for booting the kernel. You can copy it to /lib/modules on your Linux partition later.
