New kernels

[xeno74]

I have tested the X5000 Linux kernel 6.10-rc3 inside Visual Studio Code 1.90.0:

Hi
Sorry I can't test at the moment. First I had errors on my usb disk and then my x1000 refused to start.
I will return again when there is life in it again.

Have a nice day

Oh dear. I hope you can fix it.

Hi All,

Here is the RC4 of kernel 6.10 for the X1000 and X5000.

Download and further information: github.com

Please test the kernels.

Thanks,
Christian

I have tested the X5000 Linux kernel 6.10-rc4 with Adélie Linux 1.0-beta5 (20240426) in a virtual e5500 QEMU PowerPC machine.

Hi
My x1000 is running again so I have started to solve the problems with errors on my usb drives when I test linux kernels. I have no errors when linux starts on kernel 5.11 from cf0:
1I uploaded a copy of kernel 6.10_rc4 to cf0: and got a kernel panic when trying to boot this from cf0:
2 I formatted a usb drive and put a copy of 5.11 onto the drive along with a copy of 6.10_rc2 ,6.10_rc3 and 6.10_rc4.
I booted debian 64 with kernel 5.11 from the usb disk and can therefore see that the disk works ok.
Tried with kernel 6.10_rc2 and it boot
Tried with kernel 6.10_rc3 and it give a kernel panic
Tried with kernel 6.10_rc4 and it give a kernel panic
3 I think the disk is ok, but the to kernel 6.10_rc3 and rc4 do not work on my X1000. I cannot see what would trigger this

I will wait and then try the next kernel

Have a nice day

….

kernel 6.10_rc3 and rc4 do not work on my X1000.

Thanks a lot for testing! I need some error messages because I don’t have an X1000 here. I am not at home currently.

Could you please post some error messages? Maybe with pictures?
I need them to figure out what the issue is and for reporting it to the kernel developers.

Have you tested the zImage and the vmlinux?

The RC3 doesn’t have any PowerPC updates and other critical updates. They aren’t any changes in the kernel config. It is more a boring kernel so I don’t know what the issue could be.

Hi Musa,

I am preparing bisecting ...

About bisecting:

Git bisect is like a little wizard that walks you through recent commits, asks you if they are good or bad, and narrows down the broken commit.
Git bisect starts with the midpoint commit. The midpoint commit is between the initial good commit and the initial bad commit.
If the midpoint commit was good, you know the commit that introduced the change is between your midpoint and the initial bad commit.
If the midpoint commit was bad, you know the commit that introduced the change is between your midpoint and the initial good commit.
After that git bisect selects a new midpoint in the area where the commit was bad. And this is repeated over and over again till the bad commit has been found.

1. Code: Select all

   git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git b

2. Code: Select all

   git bisect start

3. Code: Select all

   git bisect good c3f38fa61af77b49866b006939479069cd451173

   (Good: Linux 6.10-rc2)

4. Code: Select all

   git bisect bad 83a7eefedc9b56fe7bfeff13b6c7356688ffa670

   (Bad: Linux 6.10-rc3)
   Output:

   Code: Select all

   [d30d0e49da71de8df10bf3ff1b3de880653af562] Merge tag 'net-6.10-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net

5. git bisect <good or bad>
   Output:

   Code: Select all

6. git bisect <good or bad>
   Output:

   Code: Select all

   Cheers,
   Christian
